The tests/avocado/boot_linux.py was disabled because it would take
too long to execute due to which it would timeout. On investigation
of this it was found that:
1) The avocado module was downloading the Fedora 31 qcow2 image 2
times due to checksum algorithm mismatch. The first download
was computing the checksum with the sha1 algorithm whereas the
second time the sha256 algorithm checksum was being passed by the
avocado_qemu module due to which the 2nd download was being
triggered.
2) The boot_linux.py test-case was including the image download time
for the 2nd download (as mentioned in point 1) in the test-case
timeout time.
This patchset aims to solve the above problems by:
1) Bumping up the avocado-framework version used by qemu to 101.0.
This version of avocado includes a fix that re-computes the
checksum of the already downloaded file using sha256 and then checks
the checksum string being passed by avocado_qemu. This fix will
also update the *-CHECKSUM file with a new line for the sha256
checksum.
2) Separating the download timeout from the actual test-case
execution timeout in boot_linux.py.
