Python is transitioning to a world where you're not allowed to use 'pip
install' outside of a virutal env by default. The rationale is to stop
use of pip clashing with distro provided python packages, which creates
a major headache on distro upgrades.
All our CI environments, however, are 100% disposable so the upgrade
headaches don't exist. Thus we can undo the python defaults to allow
pip to work.

MSYS2 is dropping support for 32-bit Windows. This shows up for us
as various packages we were using in our CI job no longer being
available to install, which causes the job to fail. In commit
8e31b744fd we dropped the dependency on libusb and spice, but the
dtc package has also now been removed.
For us as QEMU upstream, "32 bit x86 hosts for system emulation" have
already been deprecated as of QEMU 8.0, so we are ready to drop them
anyway.
Drop the msys2-32bit CI job, as the first step in doing this.
This is cc'd to stable, because this job will also be broken for CI
on the stable branches. We can't drop 32-bit support entirely there,
but we will still be covering at least compilation for 32-bit Windows
via the cross-win32-system job.

When msys2 updated their libusb packages to libusb 1.0.27, they
dropped support for building them for mingw32, leaving only mingw64
packages. This broke our CI job, as the 'pacman' package install now
fails with:
error: target not found: mingw-w64-i686-libusb
error: target not found: mingw-w64-i686-usbredir
(both these binary packages are from the libusb source package).
Similarly, spice is now 64-bit only:
error: target not found: mingw-w64-i686-spice
Fix this by dropping these packages from the list we install for our
msys2-32bit build. We do this with a simple mechanism for the
msys2-64bit and msys2-32bit jobs to specify a list of extra packages
to install on top of the common ones we install for both jobs.

The migration tests have support for being passed two QEMU binaries to
test migration compatibility.
Add a CI job that builds the lastest release of QEMU and another job
that uses that version plus an already present build of the current
version and run the migration tests with the two, both as source and
destination. I.e.:
old QEMU (n-1) -> current QEMU (development tree)
current QEMU (development tree) -> old QEMU (n-1)
The purpose of this CI job is to ensure the code we're about to merge
will not cause a migration compatibility problem when migrating the
next release (which will contain that code) to/from the previous
release.
The version of migration-test used will be the one matching the older
QEMU. That way we can avoid special-casing new tests that wouldn't be
compatible with the older QEMU.
Note: for user forks, the version tags need to be pushed to gitlab
otherwise it won't be able to checkout a different version.

Sometimes the CI "pages" job fails with a message like this from
htags:
$ htags -anT --tree-view=filetree -m qemu_init -t "Welcome to the QEMU sourcecode"
htags: Negative exec line limit = -371
This is due to a bug in hflags where if the environment is too large it
falls over:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-global/2024-01/msg00000.html
This happens to us because GitLab CI puts the commit message of the
commit under test into the CI_COMMIT_MESSAGE and/or CI_COMMIT_TAG_MESSAGE
environment variables, so the job will fail if the commit happens to
have a verbose commit message.
Work around the htags bug by unsetting these variables while running

On the GitLab side we're invoking the Cirrus CI job using the
cirrus-run tool which speaks to the Cirrus REST API. Cirrus
sometimes tasks 5-10 minutes to actually schedule the task,
and thus the execution time of 'cirrus-run' inside GitLab will
be slightly longer than the execution time of the Cirrus CI
task.
Setting the timeout in the GitLab CI job should thus be done
in relation to the timeout set for the Cirrus CI job. While
Cirrus CI defaults to 60 minutes, it is better to set this
explicitly, and make the relationship between the jobs
explicit

The `ccache` tool can be very effective at reducing compilation times
when re-running pipelines with only minor changes each time. For example
a fresh 'build-system-fedora' job will typically take 20 minutes on the
gitlab.com shared runners. With ccache this is reduced to as little as
6 minutes.
Normally meson would auto-detect existance of ccache in $PATH and use
it automatically, but the way we wrap meson from configure breaks this,
as we're passing in an config file with explicitly set compiler paths.
Thus we need to add $CCACHE_WRAPPERSPATH to the front of $PATH. For
unknown reasons if doing this in msys though, gcc becomes unable to
invoke 'cc1' when run from meson. For msys we thus set CC='ccache gcc'
before invoking 'configure' instead.
A second problem with msys is that cache misses are incredibly
expensive, so enabling ccache massively slows down the build when
the cache isn't well populated. This is suspected to be a result of
the cost of spawning processes under the msys architecture. To deal
with this we set CCACHE_DEPEND=1 which enables ccache's 'depend_only'
strategy. This avoids extra spawning of the pre-processor during
cache misses, with the downside that is it less likely ccache will
find a cache hit after semantically benign compiler flag changes.
This is the lesser of two evils, as otherwise we can't use ccache
at all under msys and remain inside the job time limit.
If people are finding ccache to hurt their pipelines, it can be
disabled by setting the 'CCACHE_DISABLE=1' env variable against
their gitlab fork CI settings.

This reverts commit e8e4298fea.
ensuregroup allows to specify both the acceptable versions of avocado,
and a locked version to be used when avocado is not installed as a system
pacakge. This lets us install avocado in pyvenv/ using "mkvenv.py" and
reuse the distro package on Fedora and CentOS Stream (the only distros
where it's available).
ensuregroup's usage of "(>=..., <=...)" constraints when evaluating
the distro package, and "==" constraints when installing it from PyPI,
makes it possible to avoid conflicts between the known-good version and
a package plugins included in the distro.
This is because package plugins have "==" constraints on the version
that is included in the distro, and, using "pip install avocado==88.1"
on a venv that includes system packages will result in an error:
avocado-framework-plugin-varianter-yaml-to-mux 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.
avocado-framework-plugin-result-html 98.0 requires avocado-framework==98.0, but you have avocado-framework 88.1 which is incompatible.
But at the same time, if the venv does not include a system distribution
of avocado then we can install a known-good version and stick to LTS
releases.

scripts/archive-source.sh needs meson in order to download the subprojects,
therefore meson needs to be part of the host environment in which VM-based

The FF_SCRIPT_SECTIONS=1 variable should ordinarily cause output from
each line of the job script to be presented in a collapsible section
with execution time listed.
While it works on Linux shared runners, when used with Windows runners
with PowerShell, this option does not create any sections, and actually
causes echo'ing of commands to be disabled, making it even worse to
debug the jobs.

Building at -O2, adds 33% to the build time, over -O2. IOW a build that
takes 45 minutes at -O0, takes 60 minutes at -O2. Turning off debug
symbols drops it further, down to 38 minutes.
IOW, a "-O2 -g" build is 58% slower than a "-O0" build on msys in the
gitlab CI windows shared runners.

fails, we should still populate the cache as the installer will be

We current reference an msys installer binary from mid-2022, which means
after installation, it immediately has to re-download a bunch of newer
content. This wastes precious CI time.
The msys project publishes an installer binary with a fixed URL that
always references the latest content. We cache the downloads in gitlab
though and so once downloaded we would never re-fetch the installer
leading back to the same problem.
To deal with this we also fetch the pgp signature for the installer
on every run, and compare that to the previously cached signature. If
the signature changes, we re-download the full installer.
This ensures we always have the latest installer for msys, while also
maximising use of the gitlab cache.
