[PATCH v2 00/11] more misc fixes for 8.0 (tests, gdbstub, meta, docs)

[Alex Bennée]

Testing of kaniko as an alternative builder ran into the weeds so that
patch has been dropped. It looks like the gitlab registry doesn't
support layer caching. However the build also seems to be very
unstable leading to a bunch of container build failures, e.g.:

  https://gitlab.com/stsquad/qemu/-/pipelines/823381159/failures

I've also dropped the avocado version bump. We do gain two new patches
- one minor gdbstub fix for BSD and including the Xen KVM test.

It would be nice to get some review of the documentation update from
the block maintainers but if no one objects I still intend to merge it
in lieu of anything better.

I'll roll the PR tomorrow morning.

Alex.
