[PATCH for 7.2 v3 00/13] testing and doc updates (pre-PR)

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

Hi,

This contains my last set of fixes which didn't make it in the last
pull request I sent. I've dropped the console peek patch which
unearthed a number of additional tests which can't handle even the
smallest delay in avocado draining the console chardev. As a result we
still occasionally miss login prompts but the rest of the tests are
more stable.

New in this iteration:

  - more bumping of timeouts
  - disable the tcg virt tests in CI in favour of a new alpine based one
  - cirrus updates for macos

The following need review:

 - gitlab: integrate coverage report (1 acks, 1 sobs)
 - tests/avocado: skip aarch64 cloud TCG tests in CI
 - tests/avocado: introduce alpine virt test for CI

Alex Bennée (8):
  tests/docker: allow user to override check target
  docs/devel: add a maintainers section to development process
  docs/devel: make language a little less code centric
  docs/devel: simplify the minimal checklist
  docs/devel: try and improve the language around patch review
  tests/avocado: introduce alpine virt test for CI
  tests/avocado: skip aarch64 cloud TCG tests in CI
  gitlab: integrate coverage report

  Run docker probe only if docker or podman are available
