runner/autopkgtest: improve apt-source for Debian
With the apt-get fallback disabled, autopkgtest should only take packages from
the added suite only when specifically requested. That should also happen for
the autopkgtest itself. The old method (which remains used for the fallback
enabled case) worked fine, except when a source package builds a completely new
binary set. E.g. seen in hyperkitty 1.1.4-8 to 1.2.1-1.

autopkgtest-build-qemu: build VM images with vmdb2

autopkgtest-build-qemu: build VM images with vmdb2
Ubuntu images can't be created ATM due to a bug in Ubuntu's grub2 package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1786699
However, if I locally hack vmdb2 to not pass the command line option
removed by Ubuntu, Ubuntu images can be created just fine.
Both Debian and Ubuntu images created have been tested with autopkgtest.
Thanks to Simon McVittie for the Debian kernel selection snippet.

Merge branch 'pycodestyle' into 'master'
Fix new pycodestyle warnings
See merge request ci-team/autopkgtest!37
commit aacea218d1c78af0cebce87b6e43d09cbbf56fc5

Fix most pycodestyle warnings for invalid escape sequences
Recent pycodestyle versions add warnings for escape sequences not known
to the current Python version. These currently expand to themselves,
but could mean something different in a future Python version.
In simple cases, use raw strings r'...' for regular expressions,
shell scripts, and other strings likely to contain backslashes that
are intended to be passed through to another interpreter like the
regular expression parser or the shell.
In more complex cases where the string already contains backslashes
(other than in regular expressions), I've continued to use non-raw
strings and just doubled the offending backslashes.
In the test code, I've systematically used r'' for all regular
expressions (even when it doesn't make any difference), since that seems
least likely to introduce mistakes later.
Note that
assertRegex(foo, 'new\nline and\ttab')
assertRegex(foo, r'new\nline and\ttab')
both assert that foo contains "new<U+000A>line and<U+0009>tab", where
<U+xxxx> represents the given control character. In the first match,
the regular expression contains a literal U+000A (newline/line feed)
and a literal U+0009 (horizontal tab), which match themselves, whereas
in the second match, the regular expression contains the sequences
backslash, n (which matches a newline) and backslash, t (which matches
a tab).

tests/pycodestyle: Print all warnings before exiting unsuccessfully
If a new pycodestyle version introduces new warnings, we presumably
want to report on them in all libraries and scripts, but `set -e`
means we bail out early on a failed command. This resulted in, for
example, not inspecting runner/autopkgtest if autopkgtest-virt-qemu
provokes warnings.

Ignore pycodestyle W504 "line break after binary operator"
pycodestyle 2.4.0 warns whenever a line break occurs at a binary
operator; the intention seems to be that projects suppress either
W503 or W504, whichever one they prefer. Recent revisions of PEP 8
recommend breaking long lines before binary operators:
if (foo
and bar
and baz):
but it seems autopkgtest consistently breaks after binary operators:
if (foo and
bar and
baz):
so enforce that one for now.

commit 3c17c0c40d9bee4bf12c34e15ba0bb4adcfb8c18

Implement superficial as a test restriction
This feature was previously prototyped under the name 'trivial'.
Superficial tests do not provide significant test coverage, so if they
pass, that does not necessarily mean that the package under test
is actually functional. If a superficial test fails, it will be
treated like any other failing test, but if it succeeds, this is
only a weak indication of success. Continuous integration systems
should treat a package where all non-superficial tests are skipped as
equivalent to a package where all tests are skipped.
For example, debian/tests/build in packages like dbus, libinput and
pango1.0 should be marked as superficial. For packages that have other
tests (like dbus and pango1.0), this has no effect on migration to
testing unless the non-superficial tests happen to be skipped. For
packages where the only test is superficial (like libinput), marking
the test as superficial removes the migration delay bonus on success
(because the test doesn't actually confirm that the library works,
so we have to rely on user testing to detect most regressions), while
retaining the migration delay penalty on failure.
Based on a patch from Rebecca N. Palmer.
