I was hoping that we could tell Travis to just fully use our Docker
images.  Looking at
https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages/share-docker-image/ maybe
we can just restrict the Docker pull to the test.py stages that use GRUB
for tests?  And then as part of a move to Xenial we could also copy out
QEMU.
