examples: Add `make spell` to testplan

Support for spell checking had been added to avocado recently, let's
make that mandatory step of manual testplan.
Signed-off-by: NLukáš Doktor <ldoktor@redhat.com>

Now users can execute 'avocado run --replay latest' to have the latest
job replayed. No need to remember the job id.

  Add spell checker as Makefile target.
  Yet another spellcheck.

This patch adds the `make spell` command so developers can easily
check the spelling on docstrings and comments. False positives
words should be added to spell.ignore file.

  Multiplex doc: try to be clearer about mandatory space and colon

We have a warning about the mandatory space when using the `!include
:` construct.  Since the warning has an exclamation mark (for
punctuation purposes) it can make it a bit confusing since the
example given begins with an exclamation mark (for syntactic
purposes).

Also, in reStructured Text markup, double underscores do not add
emphasis, as it seems to be the original intention.

Commit 19cb82ce removed the `get_ascii()` method and added the utility
function `tree_view()`.  But there is a leftover using the old method.
Let's replace them.

selftests: Few pre-release unittest fixes

The superusers default permission is 0o644 while other users is 0o664.
This is not handled by zipfile yet so adjust the unittest for now and
see what we can do about this in our utils.archive later.

This test requires mkfs binary in order to run, while it's not really
essential for avocado testing. Let's skip it when it's not available.

Use the stacktrace.str_unpickable_objects to get more information on why
the status was not send through queue.
Signed-off-by: NLukáš Doktor <ldoktor@redhat.com>

The stacktrace.str_unpickable_object() walks the object and tries to
identify all the pieces which are unpickable and reports them in a human
readable form.

Zip files are stored with permissions, but python's zipfile does not
reflect that. This patch adjusts the symlink fix to also update file
permissions.

avocado.utils: Add "partition" utility [v3]

Currently when something bad happens in app init(), STD_OUTPUT is left
open, causing output misbehaviour, like disabling echo.

This patch captures the exceptions from capp init() and tries to handle
them nicely. Also, it turns the pagiator off, so the error and help
messages will not be paginated.

Referece: https://trello.com/c/F1x0ZUyeSigned-off-by: NAmador Pahim <apahim@redhat.com>

Add options --env-keep to run command so users can make
available in remote executions of Avocado some environment
variables that are available locally.
