Try as much as possible to turn timestamps into the
ISO format. In fact, iso requires hours and minutes
to be separated by a ':', but that makes URLs far
less convenient, requiring escape characters. So
let's replace it with a dot.

Also, put the short ID after the date, so date sort
can be properly done.

Make some changes to bring the concept of job ID as a
user visible information:

* Make the human output to display the job ID
* Make the json output to have the job ID
* Record the job id in a file inside the results dir

Adapt functional tests to that new schema.

We used 'run' as a prefix for avocado job output directories
after virt-test (basically, inertia). Let's use something
better:

job-[first 8 characters of job id]-timestamp

This way the job id starts to be more prominent in the
human interface as well.

If we press Ctrl+C, the test that was being executed
still does not have a status, and that reflects in the
job log with a None printed in the final status.

So, if there's no status yet, we should safely (?)
assume that the test was interrupted.

Previously, the throbber update method was being called

Put state of the initialized test in the multiprocess Queue,

This commit implements two very different things, but still very
much connected:

1) Separate test loading to the process that will be actually
running the test. This leads to a better separation of duties of
the process interacting with the user and the process that is
actually doing the (usually) heavy work.

2) Remove the pickling of the test instance and sending it back
and forth.

As an added bonus, it was noted during development, that both
processes load all necessary Python modules (including the test
module) when unmarshalling the pickled instance, resulting in
unecessary work. Actual data on performance improvements were not
collected though.

It has one change in behaviour (regression) though. Test timeout
now comes only from the test parameters. The reasoning is that
since there's now a better separation of roles and the fact that
the first process is not loading the test instance, it can not
look at the timeout defined there.

IMHO this is a sign of good design, since other types of test
(think of shell scripts) can not communicate their intended timeout.
Maybe a 'test.cfg' or something like that should be the solution to
that.
