The stick-high stage passed when one distinct dict_hash appeared: an
architecture whose boot left no accept file, no LOG: line, no serial log or no
PARITY:V4_SYSTEM line gave nothing, and two that agreed passed for three.
It is now a stage of its own, scripts/nightly.sh dict-hash, which stick-high
runs: one hash from each of amd64, aarch64 and riscv64, all found and one value;
otherwise refused, naming the architectures with none or the values that
differ. NIGHTLY_OUT points the stages at another directory, for the tests.
scripts/test_nightly_dict_hash.sh, written first and seen to fail (6 of 6, the
stage not existing), then 7 cases: agree -- pass; differ, no PARITY line, no
LOG: line, not booted, no serial log, none at all -- refused. Two of them
caught lookups that ended the script silently under set -e; guarded.
