Install zfs

[AlanMarshall]

This implements an openQA test to ensure that filesystem zfs can be installed under root xfs, and will operate correctly.

The test is included as part of FLAVOR universal used for release window testing and ongoing testing of system updates to ensure that zfs users will have a working filesystem following every individual change. It operates in uefi boot but with secure boot disabled because the zfs module taints the kernel.

The test saves a qcow2 file so that follow on tests can be added to implement further proposed feature tests.

Tested on Fedora 41:

./fifloader.py -c -l templates.fif.json
openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-9.5-x86_64-dvd.iso ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=universal VERSION=9.5 CURRREL=9 LOCATION=https://dl.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/9.5 BUILD=-"$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0"-universal-9.5 TEST=install_zfs

Result:
Pass

If we are using UEFI=1 and UEFI_SECURE=1 in this machine definition and we have UEFI_PFLASH_{CODE|VARS} specified (below) do INSECURE_PFLASH_{CODE|VARS} do anything here? Are these lines leftover from the multiple commits / corrections to uefi machine while eventually arriving at using the 64bit machine for the ZFS tests?

[AlanMarshall]

I agree. INSECURE_PFLASH_{CODE|VARS} is a carryover from templates in upstream os-autoinst-distri-fedora iirc (it's been a long time). I really should have removed it at the time and am quite happy to do it now.

Tested 8.10 on Fedora 41:

./fifloader.py -c -l templates.fif.json
openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.10-x86_64-dvd1.iso ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=universal VERSION=8.10 CURRREL=8 BUILD=-"$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0"-universal-8.10 TEST=install_zfs

Result:
Pass

Test of 9.5 repeated and result identical to previous as shown above.

Overall result: Pass

This configuration should also work for r10 when it comes.

@tcooper Further to discussion at the meeting I can see no way of avoiding hard coding latest major version as
zfs-release-2-3.el...
This actually installs 2.1.16 until I find a way of making it 2.3.2
If you know a way to avoid this hard coding, please let me know.

Otherwise this is ready for review.

Looks like nobody is interested in this so it's goodnight Vienna.
