The image download tests have long been too unreliable for the gate. We need to cache the base images similar to how devstack caches it's testing images. Let's move them to non-voting jobs for the time being. This means that the gate jobs are now all based on "-minimal" and are using infra mirrors. Unfortunately, there is still some unreliability because we currently have issues with infra mirrors being very slow after AFS updates, leading to job timeouts. But we're on the right path... Also, I noticed we don't have tests of the "ubuntu" image-download based tests, which were tacitly being tested by apt-sources before we moved that to -minimal. Add simple tests for these.
