create_hdd_textmode test suite creates HDD image named like this: PUBLISH_HDD_1=%DISTRI%-%VERSION%-%ARCH%-%BUILD%-%DESKTOP%@%MACHINE%.qcow2

However hyperv_upload_assets.pm strips the qcow2 suffix and replaces it with vhdx because this is the Hyper-V native disk format.

The problem comes when we want to consume the disk in child test suite like extra_tests_in_textmode, which has this defined: HDD_1=%DISTRI%-%VERSION%-%ARCH%-%BUILD%-%DESKTOP%@%MACHINE%.qcow2. Obviously the job fails with it unable to pull the qcow2 image.

Solution #1: The easy solution is to copycat create_hdd_textmode to create_hdd_textmode_hyperv and extra_tests_in_textmode to extra_tests_in_textmode_hyperv both with qcow2 -> vhdx.

Solution #2: Do not replace qcow2 with vhdx in hyperv_upload_assets.pm, have PUBLISH_HDD_1 & HDD_1 without qcow2 suffix, make sure openQA and possibly it's backends are able to append expected suffix, qcow2 for QEMU, vhdx for Hyper-V.

sounds more like what we want to have

Hyperv has lower priority for now, let's come back later... in $MONTHS
