fix(SYSTEMD-IMPORT): remount /sysroot with dev and suid flags
When using `systemd-import` combined with a tarball, the resulting root
filesystem retains the `nosuid` mount flag. This breaks any `setuid`
binaries in the booted OS, causing critical utilities like sudo to fail
with:
```
sudo: sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set
```
Apply a workaround to remount `/sysroot` with the `dev` and `suid`
flags. This workaround can be dropped when systemd is fixed or made
conditional to only the affected systemd versions.
Usually `DRACUT_ARCH` is not set, so we are calling `uname -m` multiple times to
get always the same value. Hence, get its external value at the beginning and
export it globally, in the same way we do with other global variables.

ci: temporary remove Fedora Rawhide CI
There is an acknoledged unresolved regression on the Fedora Rawhide CI
container with no workaround.
Since this container generation fails, attempting to run this
CI does not actually increases the code coverage for the dracut project
and removing this container does not actually decreases the code
coverage for dracut.
`parse-crypt.sh` calls `set_systemd_timeout_for_dev /dev/nbd0` which
correctly creates the `timeout.conf` config. But for this configuration
to take action, the systemd daemon needs to be reloaded. This call is
added to the initqueue. Because the system is slow, `dev-nbd0.device`
times out before the systemd daemon is reloaded.
Move the systemd config generating code into a systemd generator. Then
calling `systemctl daemon-reload` is not needed.

the host socket, but the server QEMU process fails to re-initialize the
virtual link correctly.

test: create server log in the test directory
Store the server log in the test directory (similar to the test log)
instead of putting the server log in `/var/tmp`. This makes it easier to
access the server log in case of a failure.

test: use separate networks for different NICs
The iSCSI tests 70 and 71 use two network interfaces. The server
launches a DHCP server on both network interfaces providing different IP
addresses for both. This setup works for ISC dhcpd, but will cause
problems when switching to dnsmasq: dnsmasq would offer IP from both IP
ranges to the client.
As preparation for switching to dnsmasq use separate networks for the
two different network interfaces.

test: force cpu to neoverse-n1 for arm64 when QEMU_CPU not set
using cpu=max might expose new unstable features with qemu/edk2
upgrades, this unstability might cause test failures to happen
, we are experiencing that in Debian/Ubuntu with edk2 latest version
that enables LPA2 that is still unstable.
since using cpu=max is not required for dracut tests, using a
named model will offer a better stability for the tests for future
qemu/edk2 upgrades. the choosen cpu model for arm64 is neoverse-n1
since it is one of the most stable and proven CPU model from a
virtualization standpoint.

fix(dracut): remove udevrulesconfdir variable
There is about 50 places in the dracut source code where the
`/etc/udev/rules.d` path is hardcoded.
Having a `udevrulesconfdir` dracut variable gives an impression
that dracut and dracut configuration files can configure and overwrite
udevrulesconfdir variable, this functionality however never was
supported and never worked.
Instead of making an attempt to fix the usage of udevrulesconfdir
variable, let's just remove it and require that udevrulesconfdir
always maps to /etc/udev/rules.d for dracut.
test: check if /dev/disk/by-id exists before trying to write the disk marker
Not all the tests require a disk marker, so verify that /dev/disk/by-id exists
before attempting to write it. E.g., on a successful run of
TEST-45-SYSTEMD-IMPORT the following error messages are always printed:
```
2026-02-13T00:12:28.5241893Z made it to the test rootfs!
2026-02-13T00:12:28.5358768Z dd: failed to open '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_marker': No such file or directory
2026-02-13T00:12:28.5410929Z sync: error opening '/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_marker': No such file or directory
2026-02-13T00:12:28.5417101Z All OK
```
However, the wrong sync operation sometimes seems to affect the "All OK" print
and the final verification of the test result. E.g.:
```
