1121030 - Move hostutils to tooltool and manage it from the tree

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Release Engineering :: Applications: MozharnessCore, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1109310

We can move to tooltool by doing this:
1 - Upload to tooltool [1]
    - This will remove the need for Releng to be a gatekeeper
2 - Add it to the android tooltool manifest [2]
    - One per Android platform
    - This way we can ride the trains
3 - Deprecate using the hostutils config value

NOTE: IIUC setup avds will download the manifest without work on your side [3]
** It will cache it for you - cache=c.get("tooltool_cache", None))
** It will unzip it for you - output_dir=c[".avds_dir"], aka ".avds_dir": "/home/cltbld/.android"
** I am not 100%

After bug 1088208 lands, this could be easily tested locally without having to figure it out first on mozharness try or checking out a loaner.

We keep host-utils in tooltool these days - all done.
