Clark Boylan 7b6247554e Add Jammy functesting to dib
This adds arm64 ubuntu-minimal Jammy functests and x86 ubuntu image
based Jammy functests. To make this happen we have to install
debootstrap from debian unstable on the functest nodes in order to get
access to a debootstrap that knows what jammy is.

As we ramp up Jammy support in our tools having good testing will be
helpful.

ubuntu-minimal

The ubuntu-minimal element uses debootstrap for generating a minimal image. In contrast the ubuntu element uses the cloud-image as the initial base.

Note

You will need to install a working debootstrap for diskimage-builder. The version you install may not support all Debian and Ubuntu releases that you want to bootstrap. Consider using the zuul/nodepool-builder docker image instead as maximum compatibility is attempted there.

By default this element creates the latest LTS release. The exact setting can be found in the ubuntu-common element's environment.d directory in the variable DIB_RELEASE. If a different release of Ubuntu should be created, the variable DIB_RELEASE can be set appropriately.

Note that this element installs systemd-sysv as the init system for 18.04+.
