Most of the Fedora Cloud-owned profiles are limited to a subset of
architectures, generally x86_64 and aarch64 (with the exception of
the VirtualBox Vagrant image, which is x86_64 only).
Azure provides an optional "Accelerated Networking" feature. Enabling
this feature when creating a VM enables SR-IOV and provides the guest
with a virtual function.
Supporting this requires two changes. Firstly, the kernel-modules
package is required as it contains the Mellanox drivers required for the
VF provided to the guest. Secondly, the interface needs to be ignored by
NetworkManager or it'll try and fail to bring up the device and the VM
will be unreachable except by serial console. If this is observed, it's
likely new hardware has been deployed and additional drivers need to be
added to the NetworkManager config.

for details.
This is a variation of Cloud-Base-Generic which boots using UKIs.
This also adds uki-editbootconfig.sh script which makes the
image bootable via "UEFI firmware -> shim.efi -> UKI.efi".

The initial-setup packages for firstboot were split into their own
comps group that ensures initial-setup-gui is configured to use
kwin as the Wayland compositor.
As the list of buildable variants grows, it will be harder to maintain
in the main README. Thus, split it out to its own file to keep the
README manageable.
Once the image build is done, we do not need the working tree
anymore and leaving it around causes it to get archived at the
end of CI runs when it is totally unneeded.
We now have more than one cloud system that is essentially a KVM
environment that uses cloud-init to boot, so now we declare that
"generic" and have the OpenStack and Oracle images reuse those
definitions.
Also, in preparation for layered cloud image variants, rename
them from "Cloud-" to "Cloud-Base-". Vagrant variants are
similarly prefixed to make it clear who provides them.
Finally, restructure the layout of the tmt plans to match the
description structure.
KIWI differentiates between libvirt and VirtualBox based Vagrant
images, especially for the box format, so now we split up the
Vagrant definition accordingly.
