Ondřej Míchal 54a2ca1ead test/system: Decouple image caching from Zuul
Since the rewrite of the system test suite[0] we've relied on the Zuul
playbooks for taking care of caching images using Skopeo for increasing
the reliability of the tests (in the past the instability of the Fedora
registry caused problems). This state is problematic if we want to use
the tests in other environments than the Zuul CI. This moves the caching
from Zuul into the system tests.

Currently, Bats does not support officially suite-wide setup and
teardown functions. The solution I chose was to add two new test files
that are executed before and after all tests. This may complicate the
execution of cherry-picked tests but that is not a very common use case
anyway.

The tests are now to some extent capable of adjusting to the host
environment. This is meant in the sense of: I'm running on RHEL, the
"default image" is UBI; I'm running on Fedora, the "default image" is
fedora-toolbox. This mechanism relies on os-release, which is the same
as what Toolbox itself uses.
