It doesn't make sense to have two classes of flaky tests. While it may
take the constrained environment of CI to trigger failures easily it
doesn't mean they don't occasionally happen on developer machines. As
CI is the gating factor to passing there is no point developers
running the tests locally anyway unless they are trying to fix things.
While we are at it update the language in the docs to discourage the
QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS becoming a permanent solution.

Python 3.12 now warns about backslashes in strings that aren't used
for escaping a special character from Python. Silence the warning
by using raw strings here instead.

Use a shorter name. We are going to move in iotests from qmp() to
command() where possible. But command() is longer than qmp() and don't
look better. Let's rename.
You can simply grep for '\.command(' and for 'def command(' to check
that everything is updated (command() in tests/docker/docker.py is
unrelated).

The virtio-gpu test is known to be flaky - that's why we also did
not enable the test_s390x_fedora in the gitlab CI. However, a flaky
test can also be annoying when testing locally, so let's rather skip
this subtest by default and start running the test_s390x_fedora test
in the gitlab CI again (since the other things that are tested here
are quite valuable).

In order for hosts running inside of TCG to initialize the kernel's
random number generator, we should support the PRNO_TRNG instruction,
backed in the usual way with the qemu_guest_getrandom helper. This is
confirmed working on Linux 5.19.

[thuth: turn prno-trng off in avocado test to avoid breaking it]
Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>
To run user-mode emulation tests, we introduced the
avocado_qemu.QemuUserTest which inherits from avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest.
System-mode emulation tests are based on the avocado_qemu.Test class,
which also inherits avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest. To avoid confusion,
rename it as avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest.
