Add the latest Ubuntu version into the testing matrix
and image-build workflow. This is also needed to support
other containers projects which share use of VM images
from this one.
Update package lists to include needs for contianers/storage
use of images.

This is mainly/initially to support use of Cirrus-CI
in https://github.com/containers/buildah since that setup
re-uses the VM images from this project. However, it also
opens doors here, if libpod ever needs/wants to do things
with a dedicated storage device and/or storage-drivers.

Building/installing dependencies from fixed source-version ensures
testing is reliable, but introduces a maintenance burden and
risks testing far outside of a real-world environment. The
sensible alternative is to install dependencies from distro-packaging
systems.
Install all development and testing dependencies at VM cache-image build
time, to help ensure testing remains stable. The existing cache-image
build workflow can be utilized at any future time to build/test
with updated packages.
***N/B***: This does not update any dockerfiles used by testing, that is
left up to future efforts.

Remove disused `build_cache_images` task, and
update relevant dockerfiles for F30.
Fix problem of cloud-init failing to expand root-device on boot
(/var/lib/cloud/instance left in improper state).
Fix problem of cloud-init racing with google-network-daemon.service on
boot (looking for cloudconfig metadata too early). Causing
root-device to _sometimes_ fail to expand.
Fix problem of hack/get_ci_vm.sh argument passing.

Previously, it was quite difficult to affect changes to VM cache images
without lots of manual work. This commit adds a new optional testing
task which mirrors the official-image build task which only runs on
master. In contrast, the new task may be run at any time in a PR, but
including a magic phrase in the PR description.
Update documentation to describe the new task and inform on it's usage.

Add necessary tweaks to base-image build/import process so that image
can successfully boot with networking enabled. Build the base image and
update ``.cirrus.yml`` accordingly.
Also make a minor improvement to cache-image building to help save space in
GCP image storage. Namely, instead of storing every produced image, export
them into google storage buckets w/ life-cycle enabled. For production use,
they may be converted back into GCE images, otherwise they will expire after
a time.

Since the most recent TWO versions of Fedora are officially supported
upstream, both need to be tested. Implement the concept of a 'prior'
Fedora release in both base-image and cache-image production. Utilize
the produced cache-image to test libpod. Remove F28 testing from PAPR.
Much thanks to @baude @giuseppe for help with this.

A number of images required for future testing are not present in GCE.
Importing them is a long proscribed process prone to errors and
complications.
Improve this situation by documenting, and encoding the majority of the
steps required. Due to the required complexity, these are clearly
identified as 'semi-automated'. This means a discerning eye is
sometimes needed to address unforeseen problems (networking issues,
format or packaging changes, etc).
Nevertheless, having these steps in writing, will reduce current and
future maintenance burden while supporting future testing needs of
RHEL, Fedora and Fedora Atomic Host.
Also:
* Add necessary configuration, scripts, and Makefile updates needed to
prepare RHEL, Fedora, & FAH cloud images for use in GCE. This
is a complex, multi-step process where the cloud image is booted
un a local user-mod qemu-kvm instance, where it can be modified.
From there, it's converted into a specific format, and imported into
GCE. Lastly, the imported raw disk data is made available as a GCE
VM image.
Note: As of this commit, the RHEL base-image builds (CentOS has native
image), however neither RHEL or CentOS cache-images build correctly.
* Left testing on FAH disabled, the GCE/Cirrus integration needs needs more
work. Specifically, the python3-based google startup script service
throws a permission-denied (as root) when trying to create a temp.
directory. Did not investigate further, though manually running the
startup script does allow the libpod tests to start running.
* Enabled Fedora 29 image to execute tests and general use.
* Utilize the standardized F28-based container image for gating
of more the intensive unit and integration testing. Update
documentation to reflect this as the standard platform for
these checks. Rename tasks with shorter names and to better
reflect their purpose.
* Cirrus: Trim unnecessary env vars before testing since the vast
majority are only required for orchestration purposes. Since most
are defined within `.cirrus.yml`, it's a good place to store the
list of undesirables. Since each of the cirrus-scripts runs in
it's own shell, unsetting these near the end will have no
consequence. Also trim down the number of calls to show_env_vars()

The packer tool takes JSON as input for the details of producing VM
images to be used for PR CI-testing. JSON is not a very human-friendly
format, without support for comments and frequently containing lots of
duplicate data.
Fix this by using a Makefile + simple python one-liner to convert
from a human-friendly YAML format into packer-native JSON. This allows
use of anchors/aliases to reduce duplication, and allows inline comments
for easier maintainability. This also allows separating the 'test'
action from the 'build' action, for earlier and better syntax problem
detection.
Lastly, there are some minor ``lib.sh`` and ``integration_test.sh``
updates to support future work, and slightly improve the build and
test environments.
