Gvisor releases, besides only being tags, have some particularities:
- they are of the form yyyymmdd.p -> this get interpreted as a yaml
float, so we need to explicitely convert to string to make it work.
- there is no semver-like attached to the version numbers, but the API
(= OCI container runtime interface) is expected to be stable (see
linked discussion)
- some older tags don't have hashs for some archs

Gvisor is the only one of our deployed components which use tags instead
of proper releases. So the tags scraping support will, for now, cater to
gvisor particularities, notably in the tag name format and the fact that
some older releases don't have the same URL scheme.
Containerd use the same repository for releases of it's gRPC API (which
we are not interested in).
Conveniently, those releases have tags which are not valid version
number (being prefixed with 'api/').
This could also be potentially useful for similar cases.
The risk of missing releases because of this are low, since it would
require that a project issue a new release with an invalid format, then
switch back to the previous format (or we miss the fact it's not
updating for a long period of time).
The Github graphQL API needs IDs for querying a variable array of
repository.
Use a dict for components instead of an array of url and record the
corresponding node ID for each component (there are duplicates because
some binaries are provided by the same project/repository).
Allow the script to be called with a list of components, to only
download new versions checksums for those.
By default, we get new versions checksums for all supported (by the
script) components.
runc upstream does not provide one hash file per assets in their
releases, but one file with all the hashes.
To handle this (and/or any arbitrary format from upstreams), add a
dictionary mapping the name of the download to a lambda function which
transform the file provided by upstream into a dictionary of hashes,
keyed by architecture.
The script is currently limited to one hardcoded URL for kubernetes
related binaries, and a fixed set of architectures.
The solution is three-fold:
1. Use an url template dictionary for each download -> this allow to easily
add support for new downloads.
2. Source the architectures to search from the existing data
3. Enumerate the existing versions in the data and start searching from
the last one until no newer version is found (newer in the version
order sense, irrespective of actual age)
The old version of the script downloaded all binaries and generated file checksums locally.
This was a slow process since all binaries of all architectures needed to be downloaded.
The new version simply downloads the .sha256 files containing the binary checksum in text
form which saves a lot of traffic and time.
* Decouple role kubespray-defaults from download
Avoids doing re-importing the download role on every invocation of
kubespray-defaults (and skipping everything).
This has a measurable effect on playbook performance.
* Update docs refering to moved download defaults
The main functions are wrapped by a sys.exit function which expects and
argument. The curent implementation isn't returning values in all cases.
This change ensures main functions return a value in all cases.
