Modernize it. This allows the test to be extended, and pkgs to be
reused (later) to speed up evaluations a bit.
I believe this also makes it run on darwin hosts, but my linux-builder's
disk is too small to fit the massive closure of this test.

- remove dead code
- pass around a lot less redundant stuff
- add a timeout to the read so it can actually fail when characters are dropped
- run the input reader in systemd-cat so we can see the errors on console
This does not actually fix the flakiness in the tests, but it should make it
easier to find.
Before this change, the hash of the etc metadata image was included in
the mount unit that's responsible for mounting this metadata image in the
initrd.
And because this metadata image changes with every change to the etc
contents, the initrd would be rebuild every time as well.
This can lead to a lot of rebuilds (especially when revision info is
included in /etc/os-release) and all these initrd archives use up a lot of
space on the ESP.
With this change, we instead include a symlink to the metadata image in the
top-level directory, in the same way as we already do for things like init and
prepare-root, and we deduce the store path from the init= kernel parameter,
in the same way as we already do to find the path to init and prepare-root.
Doing so avoids rebuilding the initrd all the time.
The URL scheme for downloading plugins has changed a long time ago and
the used URL is dead. Gerrit only throws an error since it can't load
the plugin but it continues to boot. However, instead of maintaining
URLs to 3rdparty plugins, which end up dead anyway, just drop it. The
test should cover Gerrit and not 3rd party plugins.
Also, while on it, drop the setting `plugins.allowRemoteAdmin = true`
since it's not needed.
