[Swan-dev] heads up tests switching to f35 from f32; build->fedora-build

[Andrew Cagney]

Hopefully most of the churn is over.

You'll want to rebuild the domains from scratch and wipe your
$(KVM_POOLDIR), probably:
  ./kvm demolish
  rm ../pooldir/*
I'd also use something like virt-manager to track down any delinquent
domains (after a demolish there should not be any)

Here's what changed:
- Fedora domains upgraded f32->f35
- netbsd build added, but not by default; and it's 32-bit (gmake
kvm-netbsd-install)
- NIC and the BSD domains all have interface-0 (eth0/vir0/virif0)
connected to SWANDEFAULT (nsrun was tested)
- Fedora is configured to cache its downloaded RPMs (rebuild from
scratch is cheap)
- the throttle $(KVM_WORKERS) to limit parallel reboots because racy
tests failed was removed; unsurprisingly, racy tests started failing
(but with a baseline of 0 fails, finding them is easy)
but most importantly:
- we have a network diagram that is up-to-date
https://libreswan.org/wiki/Test_Suite#Network_Diagrams
(we'll see how long that lasts :-)

Some notes to self:
- nsrun, <host>.xml, */transmogrify.sh systemd/network/* duplicate
network details
- for some reason <<mount --bind>> is slow on f35
- the next potential kvm tuneups are: using processes; use snapshots
