automation: move image operations to own functions An upcoming commit will need this functionality with slightly different values and it is enough code to not want to duplicate. Let's refactor into standalone functions so it can be reused. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6318

automation: add --version argument to build-all-windows-packages This lets us pass a version string through when building all Windows packages, just like we can do with the individual commands which produce installers. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6317

automation: do a force push to synchronize We don't know what the state of the remote is. Force pushing will be more resilient. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6316

automation: add check that hg source directory is a repo Synchronizing from e.g. source distributions is not yet supported. Let's add a check so we fail with an error message indicating such. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6315

automation: shore up rebooting behavior There was a race condition in the old code. Use instance.stop()/instance.start() to eliminate it. As part of debugging this, I also found another race condition related to PowerShell permissions after the reboot. Unfortunately, I'm not sure the best way to work around it. I've added a comment for now. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6288

automation: wait longer for WinRM connection I got a few timeouts waiting for only 120s for the WinRM connection to become available. Increasing to 180s seems to fix. I guess AWS isn't as consistent as I would like :( Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D6287
