[tool.setuptools.data-files] does not support recursive directory
installation. The old setup.cfg [files] worked because PBR's
FilesConfig.expand_globs() used os.walk() to expand docker/*, but
this hook is not triggered by the pbr.build PEP-517 backend.

Move docker/ into kolla/ and use [tool.setuptools.package-data]
instead. Update kolla_worker._get_images_dir() to check the kolla
package directory first so both editable and regular installs work.

<title>kolla-build: fix build-date LABEL invalidating Docker layer cache</title>

The build-date label was rendered into a LABEL instruction on line
3 of every Dockerfile template, immediately after FROM.

Because Docker invalidates the cache for a changed instruction and
all subsequent layers, a date change caused a full rebuild of every
image on each new calendar day, even when nothing else had changed.

Fix this by removing build-date from the Dockerfile templates and
applying it as a --label argument at build time via image.labels.

Labels passed on the build command line are not part of the
Dockerfile cache key, so the date is still recorded in the image
metadata without affecting layer caching.

<title>Install and start virtlogd in nova-libvirt.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:97d1352f225509bcb5e3e25013e9bfe1f3c995f0</id>
<content type='text'>
Due to implementation choices in qemu and libvirt, standard log
rotate does not work on these console files, and instead the usual
approach is to have libvirt's virtlogd rotate the contents of the
console log file when it gets a bit big. OpenStack Compute knows
how to read data from more than one rotated console log file if
required to service a REST API request.

OpenStack Kolla and Kolla-Ansible deploy OpenStack components in
docker or podman containers. An error in the startup configuration
for the nova_libvirt container results in the libvirt virtlogd
daemon not being run, which results in this console log rotation
not occurring.

This opens up the risk of a disk usage denial of service attack
on a hypervisor. The console log is stored on the same filesystem
as ephemeral disks, and OpenStack Nova will take a hypervisor out
of service if disk space becomes constrained. There is some
protection from the instance console not being able to write data
particularly quickly, but it is definitely still possible to fill
the hypervisor file system -- especially if multiple instances are used.

This misconfiguration appears to exist in all versions of
Kolla / Kolla-Ansible as best as I can tell.

<title>Re-enable SPICE support on Debian.</title>

The move to Debian Trixie for Kolla master accidentally broke SPICE
consoles for Nova (both Horizon and spice-direct). This is because Debian
and Ubuntu now package the SPICE support in a separate package. Without
this package, an attempt to start an instance in Nova requiring SPICE will
result in messages like this in the nova-libvirt logs:

    libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: spice graphics are
    not supported with this QEMU

And the instance will enter an error state.

The fix is to install the `qemu-system-modules-spice` package as well in
the nova-libvirt image. This re-arrangement of packages does not affect
Debian Bookworm unless backports are explicitly enabled later.

Currently we are enabling repos irrespective of rpm/deb
statement blocks and not failing in the method used
if a repository is missing.

Downside is - we might be producing one more layer,
but it probably is a more logical approach.

This is required for adding rpm support in repos.yaml
that will also include failing on missing repositories.

RDO has staffing problems and has decided to only
support SLURP releases - let's drop reliance on that
repository.

Known missing packages:
- mod_auth_mellon - missing SAML support in Keystone/Horizon - built in Kolla COPR
- glusterfs-fuse in manila-share - built in Kolla COPR
- collectd/telegraf - no opstools repository
- redis - needs a switch to valkey
- python3-ethtool - not required for neutron-mlnx-agent since 6 years [1]

Building packages in Kolla COPR is a temporary solution until these show up
in EPEL10.

<title>Add mechanism for patching files in containers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:11f65c6c1d3bfd6a12f8e71d778d46d635010449</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds a way to patch files in a Docker
image built by Kolla. This is very useful for several
reasons, specifically:

- Custom modifications
- The stable branch of some library has a fix but no pip
  package has been released
- Eliminates the need to package your own pip packages
- Eliminates the need to invent your own versioning to prevent
  upstream versioning
- Eliminates the need to manage a pip server
- In other words, it eliminates the need to get a wheel into
  the image and install it manually using any method not
  previously mentioned

It is also highly desirable because, although Kolla can replace
the source for a service with a custom URL for a tarball or its
own Git repo, it cannot do this for dependencies pulled from pip.

I would also like to point out that this is a feature with its own
code path and works only if the user "inserts" a patch into the folder
patches/docker-image/something.patch and creates an analogous series
file for patch source code.

Simply said, this code will never interfere with the upstream build process
since this feature is not intended for use in upstream.
It is rather meant for downstream users who know what they are doing.
Now they just have an option to patch their images.

Everything works on all layers of the Docker image and stores a report
of applied patches which can then be seen in /etc.

This mechanism is similar as debian patch quilt.
