[yocto-autobuilder-helper][PATCH v2 00/10] Implement 'containers' jobs

From: Tim Orling <[email protected]>

This series contains the 'yocto-autobuilder-helper' patches to enable:
* building, testing and publishing of 'vcontainer-tarball'
  - the tarball is checked to see if a newer version exists and if so
    extracts the new version before testing
  - vcontainer-tests job
* building and pushing containers from:
  - meta-virtualization
* containers are pushed when the push_containers boolean is set in the
  AutoBuilder UI
  - regstries are set with CONTAINER_REGISTRIES variable
* added getconfigdict() to scripts/utils to allow container names to mapped
  from recipe name to a more commonly used upstream container name (e.g.
  app-container-python -> python)
* authentication uses local user credentials (e.g. ~/.docker/config.json
  or .../auth.json for podman)
* containers are tagged with PV_MAJOR, PV_MAJOR.PV_MINOR, DISTRO_CODENAME
  and yocto-x.y release (yocto-x.y.z for release builds).

Additional features, such as container signing and attaching SLSA provenance
attestations will come in a future series, once this initial functionality
is agreed upon an stable.

Changes in v2:
* Simplify by  merging vdkr-tests and vpdmn-tests into vcontainer-tests
* Simplify by building containers from meta-virtualization:
- Depends on resolution of: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/meta-virtualization/message/9826
* Workaround for recent (since Friday May 29, 2026) errors:
  Error: reading blob sha256:<hash>: file integrity checksum failed for "<file>"
  - This is probably related to either sstate changes or recent changes in vcontainer-common...
