Also drop some redundant tests, there is no need to run the same
tests several times. It was useful to get travis up and running as
one is a subset of another, so helps tracking down problems, but
we don't need that for the common case.

The build pipeline, is a sub-pipeline used to generate the build
tree to use rather than the current root directory. This can be
nested arbitrarily deep, but ultimately we will fall back to the
current logic when no build property is found.
Just like the tree after the last stage of a regular pipeline ends
up in the object store, so does currently each build tree (as the
build sub-pipeline really is just a regular pipeline in its own
right). We may want to avoid both these instances of the implicit
storing semantics, and rather make it something the caller opts-in
to. However, for now that is left as a future optimization.

This also changes the structure of the object store, though the
basic idea is the same.
The object store contains a directory of objects, which are content
addressable filesystem trees. Currently we only ever use their
content-hash internally, but the idea for this is basically Lars
Karlitski and Kay Sievers' `treesum()`. We may exopse this in the
future.
Moreover, it contains a directory of refs, which are symlinks named
by the stage id they correspond to (as before), pointing to an object
generated from that stage-id.
The ObjectStore exposes three method:
`has_tree()`: This checks if the content store contains the given tree.
If so, we can rely on the tree remaining there.
`get_tree()`: This is meant to be used with a `with` block and yields
the path to a read-only instance of the tree with the given id. If the
tree_id is passed in as None, an empty directory is given instead.
`new_tree()`: This is meant to be used with a `with` block and yields
the path to a directory in which the tree by the given id should be
created. If a base_id is passed in, the tree is initialized with the
tree with the given id. Only when the block is exited successfully
is the tree written to the content store, referenced by the id in
question.
Use this in Pipeline.run() to avoid regenerating trees unneccessarily.
In order to trigger a regeneration, the content store must currently
be manually flushed.
Update the travis test to run the noop pipeline twice, verifying that
the stage is only run the first time.

Travis uses Ubuntu, which does not ship dnf, so introduce a yum
stage that allows us to test actual generation of trees on Travis.
We use this to generate a tree containing the tools necessary to
create abritrary Fedora-based build images in the future. We base
this on Fedora 27, as that is the last version that is installable
using yum rather than dnf.
In the future, once we support pipelines with nested build-images,
rather than just using the host OS as the build image, this will
allow us to bootstrap arbitrary pipelines on Travis.

Let's always use the latest available Ubuntu release for our CI, we
are interested in potentially building old images, and using old
images as bulid images, but having an old distro as host is not
necessarily an aim. If we want to test with a greater diversity of
distros (which we do), we should do that in VM's, this should just
be for the simple/quick case.
Also restructure a bit to allow for more (named) tests.
