virtme-ng v1.19 is out!

A new release of virtme-ng is out, just before the Christmas holidays.

The most noticeable change is definitely the support for running virtme-ng inside Docker containers. This opens the possibility for many other projects to use virtme-ng to potentially pick any arbitrary kernel to run their tests inside their Docker instances (think, for example, of GitHub workflows).

The other interesting change (this one only for Ubuntu users) is the --root-release argument (used together with --root) that allows bootstrapping a rootfs from scratch, selecting a specific Ubuntu release. The rootfs will be created from the latest Ubuntu cloud image of the target release.

This, together with the Docker support, allows you to quickly deploy an arbitrary Ubuntu release with any arbitrary kernel inside a Docker instance, no matter which distro/kernel the Docker instance is running. This is very powerful in a testing scenario (again, GitHub workflows).

In addition to the above new features, we have the usual set of fixes here and there, thanks to @marcosps and @pinchartl.

Detailed changelog below.

Happy holidays! - Andrea
