SRU microrelease exception for bzr

• Requirement: Run selftests during package build to catch architecture specific regressions, and catch problems early
• Run tests on installed package as part of SRU verification

  • ACTION: Martin Pitt to ask Martin Pool about self test instructions on installed system

  • ACTION: Kees to add bzr self test to qa-regression-testing project

• Under those conditions, the request was unanimously approved

  • ACTION: Martin add to StableReleasePolicy

• Discussion has shown that a general SRU exception is the only viable way
• It is not realistic to do any serious testing on these, since updates are released so fast; updates need to happen pretty much "blindly"
• This makes it rather inappropriate for main/default install, but as an opt-in in universe the current experience with the recent Chromium SRUs showed that the process is working
• In case of new build dependencies: in general they should be bundled, but for some of them it is okay to update the system package (e. g. gyp, and perhaps libvpx); this is a case-by-case decision
