[OE-core] [PATCH 0/5] wic: selftest: enhancements for non-x86 MACHINE support & fixes-size tests

[Maciej Borzecki]

A series with enhancements and new test cases for wic selftest. The
enhancements mostly allow for running wic selftest on non-x86 MACHINE,
such as qemuarm (the whole series was verified on qemux86 and
qemuarm).

Patches in this series were previously a part of [1], but since then
--fixed-size was merged upstream. The remaining selftest patches were
rebased and received performance enhancements.

The first patch adds a machine independent kickstart file - wictestdisk.
Most of test cases build a disk image using one of the kickstart files
shipped in Poky (mostly directdisk. These are usually x86 oriented due
to use of syslinux and cannot be used when running with non-x86
compatible MACHINE. On the other hand, the image built during tests does
not need to be bootable (with exception of TCs that verify if the image
is indeed bootable).

Patch 2 introduces wictestdisk in test cases where its use is possible.

Patch 3 adds onlyForArch() convenience decorator and applies it to test
cases where x86 specific image must be used. Changes since previous
versions:
- only 11 TCs are skipped on non-x86 targets, 17 previously
- performance improvements due to lru_cache() wrapped helper for get_bb_var()

Patch 4 removes some assumptions about kernel image.

Patch 5 adds tests for --fixed-size partition flags, changes:
- cache native sysroot path in class


The changes in this series depend on the following commit
