1f637bf341 Add new Rust-based tests
There's a lot going on here.  First, this is intended to run
nicely as part of the new [cosa/kola ext-tests](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/1252).

With Rust we can get one big static binary that we can upload,
and include a webserver as part of the binary.  This way we don't
need to do the hack of running a container with Python or whatever.

Now, what's even better about Rust for this is that it has macros,
and specifically we are using [commandspec](https://github.com/tcr/commandspec/)
which allows us to "inline" shell script.  I think the macros
could be even better, but this shows how we can intermix
pure Rust code along with using shell safely enough.

We're using my fork of commandspec because the upstream hasn't
merged [a few PRs](https://github.com/tcr/commandspec/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Acgwalters+).

This model is intended to replace *both* some of our
`make check` tests as well.

Oh, and this takes the obvious step of using the Rust OSTree bindings
as part of our tests.  Currently the "commandspec tests" and "API tests"
are separate, but nothing stops us from intermixing them if we wanted.

I haven't yet tried to write destructive tests with this but
I think it will go well.

718cca8055 tests/kola: Move to tests/kolainst
Follow the precedent set in https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/pull/2106
and rename the directory, to more clearly move away from the
"uninstalled" test model.  Prep for Rust-based tests.

b93180a4d3 tests: Rework tests/installed → tests/kola
Previously we made an effort to use the [Fedora Standard Test Interface](https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/ci/standard-test-interface/).
This effort was not very successful; the primary thing that
it really died on is Ansible just didn't support rebooting
very well.  I think that's since gotten better, but even
then, Ansible wasn't the best thing for a test framework
for us anyways.

In the meantime Fedora CoreOS happened emphasizing Ignition
and not "post-hoc reconciliation" models like Ansible over
ssh.

And, [coreos-assembler](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler) happened too.

Furthermore, we really need to test OSTree's interaction
with Ignition as we've invented several special things there.

Then most recently, I've been working on having
cosa/kola support running externally defined tests:
https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/1215

There's a lot of things to clean up after this but at least this
works for me:

```
$ cd /srv/fcos
$ cosa kola run -- --parallel 4 --output-dir tmp/kola -E ~/src/github/ostreedev/ostree/ 'ext.ostree.*'
```

NOTE: This *does not* drop ostree binaries into the target.  See:
https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler/pull/1252#issuecomment-600623315

This drops our dependency on Python in the installed tests, and
also fixes a few bugs that came up.

I disabled the `itest-bare-user-root.sh` one because it's
entangled with the shell script infrastructure for the unit tests.
