Improved Android Testing in LAVA with docker
summary
LAVA now runs host-side Android tooling inside Docker so you can run adb and fastboot inside Docker with the device node and serial connection shared into the container, shortening job YAML and avoiding LXC complexity. ADB/fastboot support ships in lava 2020.02 and works; image post-processing (injecting kernel modules) uses a new Downloads post-processing step that runs arbitrary commands in a container and produces artifacts referenced by a pseudo-URL. QEMU/KVM runner also accepts Docker images so custom VM binaries run from containers.
