WIP: Run standardised source tests from external plugins

Tom Coldrick requested to merge coldtom/external-plugins into master

Description

Adds some tooling to run the standardised source tests from external plugin repositories in the BuildStream test suite. This is all done in a tox environment to keep things clean. As external plugin repos could require a lot of config, including two refs to download (if we want a fixed version test and a master test), they are listed in a YAML file, which is parsed to generate two requirements files, and a list of package names. I'm not sure I like the way that the package names are passed into the tests, so feedback on that especially would be appreciated.

Changes proposed in this merge request:

  • Remove hard test dependency on bst-plugins-experimental
    • This needs some rework, as at the moment this has just broken integration tests which have moved
  • Add external-requirements.yml and a parser to generate actual requirements files
  • Add tox environments to run standardised source tests from any repo in external-requirements.yml
    • Run these against bst-plugins-experimental initially (bst-plugins-container has no standardised source tests, and is in the yaml file at the moment so I could test more than one repo ran properly)
