This was quite the brown paper bag bug I made: If the
main action fails, we need to call cleanup() no matter
what.

tests: Add trinity wrapper

Fix xunit bug

Trinity is a popular linux system call wrapper

http://codemonkey.org.uk/projects/trinity/

By implementing it we noticed a number of shortcomings
with avocado that have to be fixed in order to provide
a smoother developer experience.

The extra double quotes left by mistake in the error
reporting code made the XML invalid. Fix that, and make

Double free performs a build of doublefree.c and execution,
that triggers a double free() function calling, for the same malloc()
region.

The motivation behind this test is to catch libc errors and log inside
Avocado execution (see bug #79).

Fix bug #79.
Fix by setting environment variable LIBC_FATAL_STDERR_ to 1
to force all libc errors to be redirected to STDERR.

avocado: Make each test to print its label at the beginning of each test

Signed-off-by: NLucas Meneghel Rodrigues <lmr@redhat.com>

The heuristics to determine wether a test is a dropin
was wrong since we introduced multiplexing. This patch
fixes it.

Fixes bug #78

In order to make process.run() and friends to log stdout/err
as they are generated, create a BgSubProcess object that has
threads that poll those streams continuously, channeling the
outputs through the logging system, and also storing it in
the result attribute.

Maybe this implementation could use some more love to make
it fully thread safe, with locks. This is just a first
version to show it is possible in a cleaner fashion than
what is implemented in autotest currently.

When performing tests with the latest LTP tarball, I found
a bad return from Tarfile().extract_file(), that could be
either a badly formed tarball or a Tarfile() bug. Either
way, the archive module was equipped to deal with such a
situation, not failing the test altogether.

Fixes bug #77.

Replace the basic logging.StreamHandler used to control
avocado stdout for a version that allows us to skip printing
newlines at each message. Then use this stream handler to
log the test label at the beginning of each test, rather
than at the end. When the tests are done, they can now simply
print STATUS strings appropriately, therefore not requiring
to log the test label.

Both the HumanTestResult and VMTestResult classes were
adapted to use this new soluton.
