The images are kept between runs (installed is about 35 GB), and a
scenario's disk only holds its changes, so the old "a VM disk grows to
about 50 GB and is deleted" was misleading. Mention smoketest clean.

provision.sh deleted the cloud image's link to systemd-resolved's
resolv.conf, but systemd's tmpfiles put it back at the next boot. With
systemd-resolved off the link led nowhere, NetworkManager won't replace a
link it didn't make, and the VM had no DNS, so install.sh couldn't reach
archlinux.org. An empty file stops tmpfiles, and NetworkManager fills it.

The waits for SSH, GNOME and a reboot say what they're waiting for and
repeat it once a minute, and the base build says when it's waiting for
cloud-init, installing GNOME and shutting down.

Arch's cloud image enables systemd-time-wait-sync, and sshd is ordered
after pacman-init, which waits for time-sync.target. Once provision.sh
turns off systemd-networkd, systemd-timesyncd thinks it's offline and never
syncs, so every boot after the base build waited forever and the installed
image's build failed with "The VM didn't answer on SSH".

On Arch, -vga virtio needs qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga and also
qemu-hw-display-virtio-gpu, which that package doesn't depend on; with only
the first, QEMU segfaults at start without a message. The smoketest's VMs
are headless (or VNC), so -vga std, which qemu-base has, is enough. This
reverts 2207208's extra package and checks.

The smoketest VMs start with -vga virtio, but Arch packages that display
apart from qemu-base, so the base image build failed with "Virtio VGA not
available". update.sh now installs qemu-hw-display-virtio-vga, and doctor
and smoketest run check QEMU has the display before anything downloads.
