Colin Walters 4f42b94da7 tests: Migrate some basic unit tests that start daemon to vmcheck
The unit tests run an rpm-ostree daemon as non-root, which worked
surprisingly well for quite a while.  But it started failing when
working on a patch which adds caching that writes to `/var`.

Since we have the vmcheck system now, let's switch over to that.
This PR moves the random "basic" tests we'd accumulated like
one to verify `StateRoot` is only in `status --verbose`, but not
the tests for the `rebase` command etc.

Closes: #1336

Tests are divided into three groups:

  • Tests in the check directory are non-destructive and uninstalled. Some of the tests require root privileges. Use make check to run these.

  • The composecheck tests currently require uid 0 capabilities - the default in Docker, or you can run them via a user namespace. They are non-destructive, but are installed.

    To use them, you might do a make && sudo make install inside a Docker container.

    Then invoke ./tests/compose. Alternatively of course, you can simply run the tests on a host system or in an existing container, without doing a build.

    Note: This is intentionally not a Makefile target because it doesn't require building and doesn't use uninstalled binaries.

  • Tests in the vmcheck directory are oriented around using Vagrant. Use make vmcheck to run them. See also HACKING.md in the top directory.

The common directory contains files used by multiple tests. The utils directory contains helper utilities required to run the tests.
