Fundamental issue: test environment reproducibility #484

To reproduce test failure reliably we need to know:
1)rootfs snapshot, usually updated weekly
2)compiler docker image snapshot - usually updated weekly and depends if there is upstream updates
3)other components usually added to rootfs, so they are consistent with rootfs version
Knowing all this parameters and storing images enough time will allow to reproduce test failure/pass in reasonable timeframe (how long they are stored on storage)

But, many tests fetch components from external sources, and many of them wont be consistent with rootfs provided by KernelCI, which means we might face reproducibility issue.
We need to research this topic, review tests and improve test reproducibility where it is required.
Example: kernelci/kernelci-core#2695
We fetch platform test parameters, and we might not know what was version when it fails.
