tests: add a basic generation test for install scripts

Pino Toscano requested to merge pinotree/osinfo-db:tests-basic-install-scripts-generation-check into main

Add an initial test to check that the generation of install scripts actually works; this is done by doing the following steps:

  • for each OS, iterate through the medias and the trees that have an install script specified
  • for each media and tree, generate the config XMLs for all the injection methods available
  • try to transform each of the config XMLs using the template of the install script
  • do a basic validation of the result:
    • for XML outputs, check it can be parsed as XML
    • for command line outputs, check it is not empty and has at most one new line at the end

The parameters are filled from dummy/sample values for the required ones, or for the ones provided by default by libosinfo.

The current way tests all the possible combinations of media/tree x install script x injection method which may be a bit wasteful, however it is better than potentially skipping needed combinations.
