The boot_linux tests download and run a full cloud image boot and
start a full distro. While the ability to test the full boot chain is
worthwhile it is perhaps a little too heavy weight and causes issues
in CI. Fix this by introducing a new alpine linux ISO boot in
machine_aarch64_virt.
This boots a fully loaded -cpu max with all the bells and whistles in
31s on my machine. A full debug build takes around 180s on my machine
so we set a more generous timeout to cover that.
We don't add a test for lesser GIC versions although there is some
coverage for that already in the boot_xen.py tests. If we want to
introduce more comprehensive testing we can do it with a custom kernel
and initrd rather than a full distro boot.

The Fedora 29 kernel is quite old and importantly fails when running
in LPA2 scenarios. As it's not really exercising much of the CPU space
replace it with a custom 5.16.12 kernel with all the architecture
options turned on. There is a minimal buildroot initramfs included in
the kernel which has a few tools for stress testing the memory
subsystem. The userspace also targets the Neoverse N1 processor so
would fail with a v8.0 cpu like cortex-a53.
While we are at it move the test into its own file so it can have an
assigned maintainer.
