On broken/unresponsive machines it might happen that some of the sysinfo
commands don't finish. This allows setting "commands_timeout" in
[sysinfo.collect] section to prevent hangs.

Note this is not for all sysinfo collection, only for the commands
execution, which is currently the issue.

Now that Python 2.6 is not supported anymore, we can not officially

requirements for that platform.

The main reason for supporting Python 2.6 was the EL6 distros.
Although they are still important, our users are running a combination
of Avocado LTS and Avocado-VT.  That allows us to drop support for
Python 2.6 on master (and further Avocado releases).

Also, with Python 2.6 being dropped as a supported platform, the
version of the stevedore library can be simplified.  Let's reflect
that on both setup.py and requirements*.txt.

The libvirt Python bindings are very very hard to install from source.
On Travis, let's rely on pre-built versions from official distro
packages.

This has not been an issue so far because of the conditional treatment
given on `avocado/core/virt.py`.  When the import fails,
`VIRT_CAPABLE` was set to `False`.

The goal of this change is twofold:

1) Enable the dependency on Travis so that the tests from
`selftests/unit/test_vm.py` are run.

2) Prepare for the split of the runner packages, in which there will
be no conditionals of the libvirt import, since the installation of
the package should mean that the dependencies are also fulfilled.

There has been intermitent errors on this specific test while running
on Travis.  We should not let this impact our work, so until we
identify the cause of the failure, let's skip this test *on Travis*
only.  This test will still be run as part of `make check-full`.

There's also a Trello card to not let us forget about this test.

Avocado does not support self.skip() to be called from inside a test.
This is a design decision that users have to comply with. On the other
hand, users keep requesting alternative ways to skip tests.

This patch creates the decorators skip, skipIf and skipUnless to be
used in test functions. Corresponding exceptions will be raised in
those cases.

It happened couple of times that running our selftests produced a new
entries in the default results directory. Let's use this optional check
to avoid such issue.

To enable this check one has to set "AVOCADO_RESULTSDIR_CHECK" env
variable. This check is enabled in travis as I do not expect travis to
run avocado tests while running the selfcheck, unlike on developer
computers.

Note the check is rather simple and only assumes the default results
directory. For selfcheck I think it's enough.

This PR adjusts our tests to avoid producing results in the default
results directory (usually caused by instantiating Job or Test without a
results dir).

One of the tests still produces test results as it is essential for the
test execution, but it goes through the produced tests and removes the
base directory.

  selftests: exclude E722 from pep8 check

pep8 v2.3.0 introduced the check for bare except clause (E722). Until
now, we don't explicitly disable the pep8 check we don't want because
inspect has a default exclude list (E501, E265, W601 and E402).

Let's make explicit the exclude list for the checks we don't want in our
selftests, adding to the list the new E722 check.

The "make link" feature goes through subdirs trying to either use
`setup.py` or `Makefile` to install all plugins. The problem is that
even when `Makefile` is present it might not support `make link` target
which results in failure. This patch instead of failure in this case
just lists "FAIL" followed by the module name.
