Avocado version 101.0 has a fix to re-compute the checksum
of an asset file if the algorithm used in the *-CHECKSUM
file isn't the same as the one being passed to it by the
avocado user (i.e. the avocado_qemu python module).
In the earlier avocado versions this fix wasn't there due
to which if the checksum wouldn't match the earlier
checksum (calculated by a different algorithm), the avocado
code would start downloading a fresh image from the internet
URL thus making the test-cases take longer to execute.
Bump up the avocado-framework version to 101.0.

Did you check whether the same amount of avocado tests still works as
before? ... last time I tried to bump the version, a lot of things were
failing, and I think Cleber was recently working on fixing things, but I
haven't heart anything back from him yet that it would be OK to bump to a
newer version now ...
So upgrading to a new version of Avocado during the softfreeze sounds
somewhat risky to me right now - I'd appreciate if we could do that after
the release instead.
