continue the pglogical journey in regard to PG-11/12 switch

This is further continuing to bring back thins removed by LP: #1862601
now that compatible code is available.

I yesterday added force-reset-test pglogical/2.3.0-1, but it didn't work.
All but ppc64 were fine and considered it "always failed" as intended.
But on ppc64 that didn't work out.
On http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/pglogical/focal/ppc64el we have
the following even on retry.
2.3.0-1 pglogical/2.3.0-1 2020-03-13 07:40:28 UTC 0h 26m 17s paelzer faild
2.3.0-1 pglogical/2.3.0-1 2020-03-12 12:06:38 UTC 0h 27m 55s - fail

So lets switch this back to the force-badtest it always was.

Furthermore there is the dependent pglogical-ticker which also isn't working
since quite some time.
e.g. http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/p/pglogical-ticker/focal/amd64
Mark the new version as a known badtest as well.

Note: I've added a team task to revisit the pglogical* tests once things
calm down a bit to make them better in the long run.

bring back pglogical and re-add override

pglogical was removed by [1] for postgresql-11 dependency.
Later on it was dropped here by
  committer: Steve Langasek steve.langasek@canonical.com
  branch nick: hints-ubuntu
  timestamp: Wed 2020-03-04 05:59:36 -0800
  message: drop unused hints

That was correct at the time, but now needs to come back as the
new pglogical can work with postgresql-12 and therefore is synced in now.

Use the new force-reset-test [2] as it might come back working and we'd
want to see that to re-check why which we won't realize if we continuously
just badtest it.

make kronosnet badtest unversioned

Multiple i386 test issues present:

1. testname=configure
checking for nss... no
configure: error: Package requirements (nss) were not met:
No package 'nss' found

=> That is essentially an i386 test trying to build with mixed dependencies
   installed.

2. testname=libknet
+ pkg-config --libs libknet
Package libknet was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libknet.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

=> Again a mixed i386/amd64 config/build try failing.

2. testname=libnozzle

+ pkg-config --libs libnozzle
Package libnozzle was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libnozzle.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libnozzle' found

=> Again a mixed i386/amd64 config/build try failing.

All reproducible in a local autopkgtest.

E.g. on nss due to being the i386 test we have in that test system:
ubuntu@autopkgtest:/$ dpkg -l '*libnss*' | grep ii
ii libnss3:i386 2:3.49.1-1ubuntu1 i386
ii libnss3-dev:i386 2:3.49.1-1ubuntu1 i386

But the arch is:
$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64
$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386

Therefore the configure (and all others) fail.

The following makes the test pass (to then bock on the next dev/lib check)

$ sudo apt install libnss3-dev:amd64 libnss3:amd64 libnspr4-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following additional packages will be installed:
  libnspr4
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libnspr4-dev:i386 libnss3-dev:i386
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libnspr4 libnspr4-dev libnss3 libnss3-dev
0 upgraded, 4 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 1715 kB of archives.
After this operation, 4334 kB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n] Y
...
$ sudo ./configure --disable-man

But then once we resolve all that way it is identical to the amd64 test.

Note: kronosnet exists for i386 as it is a dependency of corosync which
exists for i386 still.

Therefore overall I think it is ok to disable the i386 test of kronosnet as it
won't work that way in our new i386-reality.
To do so I'd suggest we change the versioned badtest that we already had to a
non versioned one (and moving it to the right section).

Strongswan is not in the i386 whitelist but triggers tests

The issue reproduces in autopkgtest:
$ sudo ~/work/autopkgtest/autopkgtest/runner/autopkgtest --no-built-binaries
--apt-upgrade --apt-pocket=proposed=src:re2c --setup-commands="dpkg
--add-architecture i386; apt-get update" --shell-fail -a i386
strongswan_5.8.2-1ubuntu1.dsc -- qemu --qemu-options='-cpu host'
--ram-size=2048 --cpus 2 ~/work/autopkgtest-focal-amd64.img

But it makes no sense, if you check in there:

ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-foreign-architectures
i386
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ dpkg --print-architecture
amd64

And listed by
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ apt-cache policy strongswan
strongswan:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 5.8.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     5.8.2-1ubuntu1 500

        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages
        990 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main i386 Packages

But still it can't find/install it:
ubuntu@autopkgtest:~$ sudo apt-get install strongswan:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package strongswan:i386

So far so good, but why does it then trigger and fail on the i386 test?
http://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/s/strongswan/focal/i386

Because from d/control:
Package: strongswan
Architecture: all

But it is not just all being Arch:all it also happens to
Package: strongswan-pki
Architecture: any

And per https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2019-December/040859.html
it isn't part of the whitelist.
So I'd expect the test to just "not run".

For now ignore it at least on the current version.

re2c is working again @i386

Something changed in Focal or the test-env and now re2c is working fine again.
And I mean not due to the former masking, but really passing all tests.

Due to that this test is broken on LXD which currently means on armhf.

directories to the list of filtered paths, but for mask the

We recreated this on a raspbi 3 and we could bump a set of timeouts but that

In the past we already covered other perma-fails related to ongoing postgresql MREs like pgfincore, orafce, postgresql-plproxy and pgpool2.

But the following are remaining
  Trusty - armhf on postgresql-9.3
  Xenial - armhf on postgresql-9.5
Those Are known issues that won't resolve and we agreed in the past that on the next non scurity pushed SRU we will add an override (They are fixed post Xenial).

This issue in particular is from switching testbeds from lxc -> lxd (documented by pitti and carried on since then).
This will not resolve, so make it a non versioned hint.
