Rewrite the entire Azure DevOps build system (microsoft#15808)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This pull request rewrites the entire Azure DevOps build system.

The guiding principles behind this rewrite are:

- No pipeline definitions should contain steps (or tasks) directly.
- All jobs should be in template files.
- Any set of steps that is reused across multiple jobs must be in
  template files.
- All artifact names can be customized (via a property called
  `artifactStem` on all templates that produce or consume artifacts).
- No compilation happens outside of the "Build" phase, to consolidate
  the production and indexing of PDBs.
- **Building the project produces a `bin` directory.** That `bin`
  directory is therefore the primary currency of the build. Jobs will
  either produce or consume `bin` if they want to do anything with the
  build outputs.
- All step and job templates are named with `step` or `job` _first_,
  which disambiguates them in the templates directory.
- Most jobs can be run on different `pool`s, so that we can put
  expensive jobs on expensive build agents and cheap jobs on cheap
  build agents. Some jobs handle pool selection on their own, however.

Our original build pipelines used the `VSBuild` task _all over the
place._ This resulted in Terminal being built in myriad ways, different
for every pipeline. There was an attempt at standardization early on,
where `ci.yml` consumed jobs and steps templates... but when
`release.yml` was added, all of that went out the window.

The new pipelines are consistent and focus on a small, well-defined set
of jobs:

- `job-build-project`
    - This is the big one!
    - Takes a list of build configurations and platforms.
    - Produces an artifact named `build-PLATFORM-CONFIG` for the entire
      matrix of possibilities.
    - Optionally signs the output and produces a bill of materials.
    - Admittedly has a lot going on.
- `job-build-package-wpf`
    - Takes a list of build configurations and platforms.
    - Consumes the `build-` artifact for every config/platform
      possibility, plus one for "Any CPU" (hardcoded; this is where the
      .NET code builds)
    - Produces one `wpf-nupkg-CONFIG` for each configuration, merging
      all platforms.
    - Optionally signs the output and produces a bill of materials.
- `job-merge-msix-into-bundle`
    - Takes a list of build configurations and platforms.
    - Consumes the `build-` artifact for every config/platform
    - Produces one `appxbundle-CONFIG` for each configuration, merging
      all platforms for that config into one `msixbundle`.
    - Optionally signs the output and produces a bill of materials.
- `job-package-conpty`
    - Takes a list of build configurations and platforms.
    - Consumes the `build-` artifact for every config/platform
    - Produces one `conpty-nupkg-CONFIG` for each configuration, merging
      all platforms.
    - Optionally signs the output and produces a bill of materials.
- `job-test-project`
    - Takes **one** build config and **one** platform.
    - Consumes `build-PLATFORM-CONFIG`
    - Selects its own pools (hardcoded) because it knows about
      architectures and must choose the right agent arch.
    - Runs tests (directly on the build agent).
- `job-run-pgo-tests`
    - Just like the above, but runs tests where `IsPgo` is `true`
    - Collects all of the PGO counts and publishes a `pgc-intermediates`
      artifact for that platform and configuration.
- `job-pgo-merge-pgd`
    - Takes **one** build config and multiple platforms.
    - Consumes `build-$platform-CONFIG` for each platform.
    - Consumes `pgc-intermediates-$platform-CONFIG` for each platform.
    - Merges the `pgc` files into `pgd` files
    - Produces a new `pgd-` artifact.
- `job-pgo-build-nuget-and-publish`
    - Consumes the `pgd-` artifact from above.
    - Packs it into a `nupkg` and publishes it.
- `job-submit-windows-vpack`
    - Only expected to run against `Release`.
    - Consumes the `appxbundle-CONFIG` artifact.
    - Publishes it to a vpack for Windows to consume.
- `job-check-code-format`
    - Does not use artifacts. Runs `clang-format`.
- `job-index-github-codenav`
    - Does not use artifacts.

Fuzz submission is broken due to changes in the `onefuzz` client.

I have removed the compliance and security build because it is no longer
supported.

Finally, this pull request has some additional benefits:

- I've expanded the PGO build phase to cover ARM64!
- We can remove everything Helix-related except the WTT parser
    - We no longer depend on Helix submission or Helix pools
- The WPF control's inner DLLs are now codesigned (microsoft#15404)
- Symbols for the WPF control, both .NET and C++, are published
  alongside all other symbols.
- The files we submit to ESRP for signing are batched up into a single
  step[^1]

Closes microsoft#11874
Closes microsoft#11974
Closes microsoft#15404

[^1]: This will have to change if we want to sign the individual
per-architecture `.appx` files before bundling so that they can be
directly installed.
