Sometimes remote servers might have MOTD (message of the day)
banners, that will introduce line breaks on the remote output
of the `avocado -v` command. Let's use re.MULTILINE and
re.findall to solve that.

Some debian packages are needy and demand our attention
even if we already told apt-get to answer all questions
with 'yes'. We need to export

DEBIAN_FRONTEND='noninteractive'

So that apt-get can be run fully unattended. Let's adjust
accordingly, and pass some default dpkg values.

avocado.core.loader: Append test directory to sys.path [v2]

If a test has local imports (a fairly common use case),
we have to append the base test dir to sys.path. Otherwise,
we end up having a horrible traceback as a result:

Exception loading test
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/lmr/Code/avocado.lmr/avocado/core/runner.py", line 200, in _run_test
    instance = loader.load_test(test_factory)
  File "/home/lmr/Code/avocado.lmr/avocado/core/loader.py", line 262, in load_test
    test_module = imp.load_module(module_name, f, p, d)
  File "scylla_longevity.py", line 5, in <module>
    from sdcm.tester import ScyllaClusterTester
ImportError: No module named sdcm.tester

Which is clearly not wanted. We had this problem before
and now we have a regression. It's time for a functional
test to make sure we don't regress again.

Revert "Pseudo terminals: add utility module"

It was noticed that the Python standard library provides os.ttyname(),
and, while it only returns the Pseudo Terminal file path when given
the slave file descriptor, it looks to be sufficient for most, if not
all, use cases.

This reverts commit 003bfaed.

Pseudo terminals: add utility module

On local runs, for non-root users, it's possible to verify
the contents of /proc/1/cmdline. Of course, we should do
this only if we are on a local run (process.run is passed
to get_name_of_init) and we couldn't directly read from
/proc/1/exe.

After this patch, it's possible to instantiate ServiceManager
on local runs made by non-root users.

Early state docs and tweaks

Based on previous experiences (GDB terminal redirection attempts),
it's common for applications that need to allocate a pseudo to have
the name of the allocated file. This is, unfortunately, something that
the Python standard library doesn't give for free.

This simple utility module wraps and extends the Python standard
library `pty` module, providing a `openpty` function that, besides
allocating the pseudo terminal, also returns its name.

These signal handlers are only used later in the code, and in a hope
to dimish the possible things that can go wrong before the initial
test state (AKA early state) is sent to the test runner, let's move
their definitions to a later stage.

Also python-stevedore is also required at build time, because on some
