This change removes the knowledge, and dependency, that the current
Avocado core has of the HTML rendering code.

The only user visible change is that the UI message about the
generated HTML file now appears one line after it used to appear.  The
reason is not because of the HTML plugin itself, but because the
results are now generated outside the context of the job, and that is,
chronologically a bit later than it used to be.

Commit 84a8acc0 fixed a problem with 625eefe0, by reverting its
original proposal and copying everything from the inner test result
information to a new dict that is fed to the report template.

It turns out that only two entries were missing (test ID and status)
so we don't really need to copy the whole thing.

Again, this is basically a revert of 84a8acc0 that adds those two
missing fields.

There's no need to have different names on the ReportModel class from
the Result instance, which is really the source of information.

This change is a step towards using better known names and possibly
making the ReportModel a child of Result itself.

Plugins: add support for optional plugins dir and related Makefile targets

This reverts commit 6cb88049.

The rationale is that we should really use LC_ALL instead of LANG.

The `run` does not accept arguments anymore but stores them in `self`.
Let's get rid of the outdated docstring.

Currently only tree produced from yaml file is filtered. This patch
changes the logic to first produce the full tree and then apply filters.
The difference is that this way one can filter also nodes defined via
`avocado_devault_params` like avocado-vt params or `--mux-inject` ones.

This commit allows setting custom LANG for sysinfo collection to

Currently we fail silently when sysinfo configuration files
are not present. This patch adds a log.debug message so the user
will have a chance to understand why sysinfo is not being
collected.

The current method of IP probe is unreliable, as the IP can change between
reboots and we will still use the previous IP. This patch changes the IP
probe method to use the libvirt's domifaddr feature. We try to use the
AGENT method, which relies on a qemu-guest-agent query.

Commit 88cd8261 moved the plugin interfaces to `avocado/core` under the

The `link` and `clean` targets, very useful under development
environments, have supported directories containing `Makefiles`.

It turns out that for some plugins it may be enough (and more
Pythonic) to just have `setup.py` files, so let's support that.

The goal of the `optional_plugins` directory is to hold all plugins
that ship with Avocado, but are not considered core functionality.
Plugins that are considered to be core still live under
`avocado/plugins`.

This also adds all directories to be found under `optional_plugins` to
the list of candidate plugins when running `make clean` or `make
link`.

avocado/core/settings.py: allow settings to use the home dir notation [v4]

VIRTUAL_ENV variable might not be always present. That's the
case for ReadTheDocs. On the other hand, sys.real_prefix seems to
be a more reliable way to detect we are under a virtualenv.

Some settings refer to paths on the filesystem, and the use may want

It's common to use the tilde notation (`~/foo`) to refer to locations

  Makefile: limit clean/link to possible plugin directories
  selftests/unit/test_utils_partition.py: also treat raised OSError
  Makefile: add explicit config to all mock commands
  Makefile: RPM repos are not hosted on COPR anymore
  Makefile: move Debian package related rules to contrib
  Makefile: add target that shows general configuration
  Makefile: silence possible setuptools warnings

The current wildcard expansion will look list every file (no matter
what type) as a plugin candidate.  It may be just my setup, but I have
a few files on the same common directory that shouldn't be treated as
plugin dirs.

While at it, also limit to directories that actually have a Makefile.

When skipping tests due to the lack of sudo permissions, OSError
can be raised when the asked binary does not exist and can not be
executed.

In an ideal world, only one "skip" decorator would have to run, and
this extra treatment wouldn't be necessary since there's already a
`missing_binary` being used.  Unfortunately, that's not how they work.

When generating RPM packages for different distros, it makes sense
to override the chosen mock config (the target distro) in the command
line, such as:

 $ make MOCK_CONFIG=epel-6-x86_64 rpm

So let's add the default value ("default" itself) to every mock command
and let the user running make to override it.

The support for Debian packages have already been moved to a contrib

The PyYAML by default replaces any value with object. This could be
