Release documentation: Avocado 110.0

Users/Test Writers

Support for Virtual Machine images (A.K.A. as vmimages) to be used test as dependencies. The new vmimage runner has been introduced to download/prepare vmimages before the test execution in the test environment. More info about this new feature can be found in the documentation.
The HTML report can now filter results based on negative conditions. It’s possible now to ask it to show “all tests that did not pass” (regardless of being an error, failure, etc) with a !PASS filter condition.
Python 3.13 is now fully tested and supported.
Code coverage (coverage.py) support is improved with code that runs during the test load now being accounted as covered.

A large amount of lint and style changes were applied to the utility modules, in anticipation for migration to aautils.
avocado.utils.network now supports SLES 16 in combination with NetworkManager.
The avocado.utils.vmimage and avocado.utils.cloudinit received major code coverage improvements, also in anticipation for migration to aautils.

Because of the timeout handling mechanism, some tests could end with false positive statuses. The timeout handling mechanism is now more robust, and that situation is now resolved.

The runners on CI were updated to run a more recent and standard default distro (ubuntu-22.04) and the Fedora images used are now based on Fedora 40.
