Kilian Cavalotti 0b4695eef2 Accept MIB labels for genpdu enumerated values
With PDU2-MIB loaded, SNMP.pm returns an enumerated INTEGER as its label
rather than its number: a PX4 answers inletSensorUnits with "amp" rather
than "2". That failed the numeric test, fell back to none(-1) and
dropped the unit suffix from every rvitals reading.

Add pdu2_enum, which accepts the number, the label, or the label(value)
form Net-SNMP produces with quick printing off, and use it for the
sensor units and for outletSwitchingState.

Also stop requiring the switching probe to read on or off. An outlet can
be in any SensorStateEnumeration state, and pdu2_get has already ruled
out an absent instance, so any answer proves the outlet is switchable.

xCAT-test/unit

Unit tests. These run against the source tree only -- no xCAT installation, no running daemons, no management node.

They are executed on every pull request by the xcat_test GitHub Actions workflow, which calls run_unit_tests() in github_action_xcat_test.pl:

prove -r xCAT-test/unit

You can run exactly the same thing from a clean checkout:

cd <xcat-core checkout>
prove -r xCAT-test/unit

What belongs here

A test belongs in unit/ when everything it needs is in the checkout: plugin and library sources, kickstart/preseed/subiquity templates, postscripts, packaging metadata. Such a test asserts on rendered output or module logic and reaches the repository root through FindBin:

use FindBin;
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../perl-xCAT";
use lib "$FindBin::Bin/../../xCAT-server/lib/perl";

Because of those FindBin paths the tests only work from a source tree. The copy installed under /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools/autotest/unit is not a substitute -- ../.. resolves to /opt/xcat/share/xcat/tools there and the tests die or silently skip. The CI takes a copy of the checkout before the build for this reason; see preserve_source_tree().

What does not belong here

Anything that needs an installed xCAT, a populated /install, a real service binary or a live daemon. Those go in ../integration and run on a management node through xcattest. Both suites run on every pull request -- the workflow installs xCAT on the runner and then runs the ci_test cases against it -- so putting a test in integration/ does not cost it CI coverage. What differs is what each suite is allowed to depend on, and that unit tests also run standalone from a bare checkout with no xCAT at all.

The distinction matters because a test that needs an absent environment does not fail -- it calls plan skip_all and reports as skipped. A handful of those in a suite of several hundred assertions is easy to stop reading. Keeping the two kinds in separate directories means a skip in unit/ is a real signal rather than routine noise.

Guarding on a source file, on the other hand, is fine and common here:

plan skip_all => "compute.subiquity.tmpl not found" unless -f $tmpl_path;

That guard never fires when the tree is intact.
