The drm subsystem has been moving over to gitlab for some time now and
the old anongit.freedesktop.org remote is becoming unusable. Contains
the same repo with the same tags, so this shouldn't result in any
differences.

mktemp can create a tempfile relative to a directory passed in via -p.
It also uses the $TMPDIR variable for the same purpose. When the
template is specified via -t, $TMPDIR takes precedence over -p. When the
template is specified via a positional argument, -p takes precedence.
Since fec38819acc9a95a7ed18b8f103fb5d9a59c3c41 $TMPDIR is set via the
dbus runner which took precedence.
virtme-ng doesn't seem to share /tmp with the host system which results
in the exit status from the test in the VM not propagating back to the
test harness.
Fix that by making sure we always create the tempfile for the result in
the build directory.

Starting in mesa 24.1 (good in 24.0.9, bad in 24.1.1), the current
kernel somehow manages to hang our VKMS based tests. Let's update the
kernel so we can bump the CI image without running into those hangs.

We need to use a different $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR path to be able to start most
tests in parallel, and we can use a temporary directory for that which python
cleans up when done.
Also, given that most of settings are stored in HOME use temporary one
for that too, to prevent mutter to fail because it may load some local
configuration (e.g. monitors.xml) that don't meet the expectations or
that may change the test behavior in an unexpected way.
As per this, CI needs to be adapted for new args handling

It can be quite slow to set up the test environment inside the VM, as
well as outside, leaving very little time for the test itself. While
it'd be nice to not run the mock env etc outside the VM, let's just bump
the timeout for now, to avoid unnecessary timeout failures.

This means each test is run 4 times:
* with atomic mode setting using a kernel thread,
* with atomic mode setting using a user thread,
* with legacy mode setting using a kernel thread, and
* with legacy mode setting using a user thread.

The catch option makes test run via 'catch'[1], which will log
backtraces whenever an abort or segmentation fault happens in any of the
subprocesses. The aim is to enable this when running in CI to help
debugging crashes that only tend to happen in CI.
While it's possible to wrap the whole meson command in 'catch', doing so
doesn't cover the KVM tests, so this option is added instead that covers
both cases.

They can be quite heavy, as they load up one virtual machine each. If
your system is already busy, this can easily cause them to time out
instead of finish in time, as they all fight over the same limited
amount of CPU and I/O time.

Structure tests in a list of dictionaries, instead of requiring each
test to have its own executable(...) and test(...) statement. The
intention of this is to make it easier to add more test cases.

This commit makes it possible to run test executables in a test
environment constructed of a virtual machine running the Linux kernel
with the virtual KMS driver enabled, and a mocked system environment
using meta-dbus-runner.py/python-dbusmock.
The qemu machine is configured to use 256M of memory, as the default
128M was not enough for the tests to pass.
Using qemu is also only made possible on x86_64; more changes are needed
for it to be runnable on aarch64, so add a warning if it was enabled on
any other architecture.
