Tests: make _prefetch() parallel-safe
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The _prefetch helper, introduced in #2036, is not parallel-safe: two
or more parallel jobs fetching the same image can step on each other
and produce garbage images.

Although we still can't run buildah tests in parallel (see #5552),
we can at least set up the scaffolding for that to happen. This
commit reworks _prefetch() such that the image work is wrapped
inside flock. It has been working fine for months in #5552,
and is IMO safe for production. This can then make it much
easier to flip the parallelization switch once the final zstd
bug is squashed.
