[Xen-devel] [PATCH OSSTEST v3] ap-fetch-*: Support $AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS envvar which outputs a placeholder

[Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And use this in standalone-generate-dump-flight-runvars. In general I
don't think we are interested in the specific revision_* runvars when
using this tool but when it matters this new behaviour can be avoided
by setting AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS=n.

This is quicker even than using memoisation on the ap-fetch
invocations and produces output like:

libvirt  build-amd64  revision_xen  ap-fetch-version-baseline:xen-unstable

This is useful when doing comparisons of before and after changes to
e.g. make-flight since they do not pickup noise if a something/someone
does a push in the middle.

The memoisation bits of standalone-generate-dump-flight-runvars are
disabled if AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS=y.

v3:
  - No longer RFC. Races explained to our satisfaction.
  - Shortened the line length in the example output.
  - Tweaked some wording in the commit message.

v2:
  - Fix typo which would activate this mode unless
    $AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS=x.
  - Require $AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS=y (not just non-empty) and update
    standalone-generate-runvars to only set AP_FETCH_PLACEHOLDERS=y if
    it is unset.
  - Drop sqlite_use_immediate_transaction => 0,
  - Only memoize if not using placeholders (in particular don't blow
    away the cache)
