This patch adds summary at the end of the execution and uses colors to
mark start and finish of each section. This might produce some
unexpected characters on redirections/unsupported terminals at the
beginning and endings of the highlighted lines, but in most cases it
looks way better and those +3 chars can be ignored by humans.

The `checkall` script should not try to develop/install/clean anything.
It's suppose to run the tests and it's upto the user to prepare the
environment they want to check.

This won't affect `make check` as it already cleans/develops before
executing checkall.
Signed-off-by: NLukáš Doktor <ldoktor@redhat.com>

Currently the `make check` goes through all checks and then reports
overall results. This might take a while and is not really `git bisect`
friendly. This patch changes it to report early unless
SELF_CHECK_CONTINUOUS is specified. This is used in `travis` as we are
interested in all failures.

Currently one of the test_output tests depends on a correct English

LC_ALL for that execution.

The --dry-run replaces the test class with a special one instead. When
the original class used a different but "test" methodName this fails
during __init__ as unittest requires the methodName attribute to exists.
This patch always changes the methodName to "test", which is defined in
the fake dry-run class.

The python's argparse is quite clever and usually evaluates the
positionals and arguments correctly. But with subparsers or weird test
names it might falsely evaluate test name as argument, for example:

    avocado run --my_test
    avocado run passtest.py --show-job-log failtest.py

those will fail as --my_test looks like an invalid option and
--show-job-log is subparser's option not known to the main parser but as
the main parser already filled positionals it evaluates the
`failtest.py` as extra argument.

The most appropriate way to distinguish between args and positional args
is the `--` separator:

    avocado run -- --my_test
    avocado run --show-job-log -- passtest.py failtest.py

`.git` may hold content that ends up being checked by inspektor, such

avocado: Few little improvements to listing local vars

Improve virt module exceptions/messages when it is not able to connect
to libvirt and when the domain is not available.

The use of stacktrace.log_message is not really necessary as the test
already has `self.log` which is the actual log we want to write to.
Signed-off-by: NLukáš Doktor <ldoktor@redhat.com>

It could be useful to see not only key/value pairs, but also their
types. As the value could be pretty long this patch logs the type just
after the key.

docs: add section on Avocado installation using pip

This patch enables all the optional plugins in travis to increate the
test coverage.

Reference: https://trello.com/c/UHdVHzOZSigned-off-by: NAmador Pahim <apahim@redhat.com>

We have introduced updated packages (41.0) to PyPI, which now support
a much improved installation experience using pip. Let's add a section
on that.

While on that, let's restructure the sub sections levels.  The proposal
here for the sub sections on the "Installing Avocado" section is:

   1) Installing from Packages
   1.1) Fedora
   1.2) Enterprise Linux
   2) Generic installation from a GIT repository
   3) Installing from standard Python tools

When the test fails, it is useful to expose the local variables of the
test function.
