On the ubuntu-24.04 runner, dpkg-buildpackage aborted every xcat-core
package with 'Unmet build dependencies: build-essential:native', so zero
debs were produced, reprepro created no dists/noble, and 'apt-get update'
against the local file: repo failed with 'dists/noble/.../Packages File
not found' -> install_xcat failed. Add build-essential to the workflow
dependency install so the local package repo is actually built.
The xcat-dep APT repo now publishes only the noble (24.04) codename at
.../apt/latest/xcat-dep; the bionic/devel dist no longer exists, so
install_xcat failed on apt-get update/install. Run the workflow on
ubuntu-24.04 and point the apt source at latest/xcat-dep noble main.
Drop the apt-key step: apt-key is removed on Ubuntu 24.04 and the legacy
apt.key is gone from the xcat-dep dir; the repo already installs via
allow-insecure-repositories/allow-unauthenticated.
cons/kvm drives the KVM guest serial console through a shared tmux session on
the hypervisor (tmux, unlike screen, is present on every libvirt host we target
incl. ppc64le hosts that ship no screen). The KVM host package lists were never
updated for that switch, so an xCAT-provisioned KVM host got 'screen' (now
unused) -- or nothing -- where tmux is required, leaving rcons broken.
Ship tmux in the KVM host pkglists:
- install/rh, install/ubuntu: screen -> tmux / add tmux.
- netboot/{alma,centos,rocky}: were symlinks to the RHEL 5.4 list; make them
real lists with tmux (the rhel5/6/7 lists keep screen).
- install/suse: add a KVM host list (SUSE had none) carrying tmux.
screen stays where it is still used: the Xen console, and the EOL rhel5/6/7 and
centos6/7 lists.

Requiring xCAT-genesis-base >= 2:%{version} coupled the flat xcat-core to a
matching genesis-base on every marketing-version bump: a 2.18.1 core refused
to install against the deployed 2.18.0 genesis-base. genesis-base changes
rarely and lives in the separate per-EL xcat-dep repo, so floor the requirement
at the fixed 2.18.0 baseline instead. Core version bumps no longer force a
genesis-base re-publish.

xcatprobe subcommands (xcatmn, discovery, osdeploy) and hierarchy.pm load
xCAT:: perl modules but only add $XCATROOT/probe/lib/perl to @INC, not the
main $XCATROOT/lib/perl where perl-xCAT ships them. The RPM builder stopped
embedding those helpers, so /opt/xcat/probe/lib/perl/xCAT/ was absent on
installed systems and the subcommands were reported "Unsupported sub command".
Stage GlobalDef.pm, NetworkUtils.pm and ServiceNodeUtils.pm into a temporary
xCAT-probe tree and build its source tarball once, before the parallel target
builds fork, so workers only read a complete archive. Add package-payload
regression tests. Adopts the approach from upstream PR #7581.
The remaining buildrpms.pl changes are deployment-compliance refactoring
(signed, self-contained core repo output).
Closes#7579

buildrpms.pl stages source tarballs into $HOME/rpmbuild/SOURCES but only runs
rpmdev-setuptree in its one-time env-setup path. On a host where that never ran
(or $HOME/rpmbuild was cleaned) source staging fails with "SOURCES/...: No such
file or directory", no srpms/rpms are produced, and the run still exits 0 -- so
the deployable repo silently ends up empty. Create the rpmbuild tree up front so
a build no longer depends on prior manual setup.

buildrpms.pl now writes xcat-core.repo, mklocalrepo.sh and buildinfo.txt into
dist/<target>/rpms (templates ported from buildcore.sh), so the built tree is
directly deployable to xcat.org and cluster-test.pl no longer needs to collect
and re-createrepo the dist output.
The full package set is built on every arch (x86_64 and ppc64le alike), so each
arch produces a complete, self-contained xcat-core repo -- no need to copy the
noarch packages from the x86_64 build into the ppc repo. --package now replaces
the default set (so --package xCAT-genesis-base builds only genesis-base for the
dep pipeline). xCATsn added to \@native_pkgs so its arch rpm is located correctly.
