Summary:
I discovered another fun font issue today. Current anaconda
images don't use the intended 'default' console font, eurlatgr.
Neither do live images, but installed systems *do*.
The font they use is the system BIOS font, which in openQA
cases means the qemu firmware font. The easiest way to spot the
difference is the @ character; the shorter version is from the
system BIOS, the slightly taller one is what it looks like in
eurlatgr and latarcyrheb-sun16 (the old default).
In a test image I built, for some reason, I *did* get eurlatgr
in the tmux console, and that broke some needle matches. After
figuring all this out, bcl has sent a lorax patch to use
eurlatgr in the installer, so it makes sense to add these fixes
to the repo for when that kicks in.
We shrink the match on root_logged_in.json by one line. This
screenshot is taken from a post-install case where the prompt
appears in the middle of the screen, and has three black rows
above the prompt; in anaconda, when the prompt appears right at
the top of the screen, there's only *two* rows of black above
it, so the match fails. This fixes that. It's been working so
far because installs have been matching root_logged_in_
rawhide20150311, which is taken with the firmware font, but
once the installer starts using eurlatgr, that won't match any
more.
We also add a new needle for the anaconda_install_source_check
_repo_added tag, taken with eurlatgr. The existing screenshot
was taken either with the firmware font or with latarcyrheb.
They both use a curly glyph for a single quote ('), while
eurlatgr uses a straight line.
This also renames the root_logged_in variant needle to be
clearer about why it's there. We'll probably need variants of
some needles until we're sure lives, anaconda env, and installed
systems are all using eurlatgr. RHBZ #1250262 is a bug I filed
for the live images not using eurlatgr.
Test Plan:
Run the tests with both BIOS font and eurlatgr as
the anaconda font and make sure they all work. The latter
might be a bit tricky till the change lands upstream, I've no
idea how it worked out that way in my test boot.iso.

This requires adding products, flavors and needles and test
cases, and tweaking some existing ones to handle the
slightly different behaviour of live images in shared tests.
To handle the different main hub screens in live and non-live,
a less stringent needle is added which is unregistered for
non-live tests, so they don't match on it before they've
finished updating repository metadata.
There are a few small bugfix tweaks in this too, like some
delays in user creation to try and avoid intermittent failures
there.
A new root_logged_in needle is also included, to handle a new
console font in Rawhide - that has nothing strictly to do with
live testing, it just happened to come up while working on
this.
