The package providing /usr/share/pkgconfig/bash-completion.pc changed
from bash-completion to bash-completion-devel in Fedora 41 onwards [1].
This meant that the Bash completions were no longer being generated and
installed by the CI.

Unlike Fedora, where the package providing bash-completion.pc changed in
Fedora 41 onwards [1,2], it hasn't changed in CentOS Stream 9. So, this
doesn't change the behaviour of the CI.
However, the Fedora Packaging Guidelines recommend using pkgconfig(...)
to depend on a *.pc file [3], instead of the name of the package, and
there has been a problem on Fedora caused by not doing that. Therefore,
it's better to follow the guidelines for consistency and safety.

The toolbox(1) binary always relies on the PATH environment variable to find the podman(1) and skopeo(1) binaries. There's no way to override those with the PODMAN and SKOPEO environment variables, and they only affect any direct use of podman(1) and skopeo(1) within the test suite. Therefore, offering the PODMAN and SKOPEO environment variables in their current form is needlessly confusing and misleading, and can lead to surprises arising from different podman(1) and skopeo(1) binaries being used in different places. Either toolbox(1) should also honour them or the test suite shouldn't offer them. The former is more complicated without any obvious need for it, so the latter was chosen. containers#1592
