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.

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

The python's zipfile does not support symlinks and creates normal files
instead, even though the zip file itself stores this information. This
commit walks the zip file info and replaces the files for the actual
symlinks. It means walking the file list twice, but it's the only way I
could think of apart from using `unzip` command.

avocado/utils/process.py: avoid false positives on pid_exists()

The current implementation of pid_exists() is such that, if any error
condition is obtained from sending a signal to a given process, than
it means that it doesn't exist.

But that is not true, and the same OSError exception raised when the
process doesn't exist, can be raised when there's no permission to
send a signal to a process (such as someone else's process).  So,
let's be very specific and check for ESRCH, which means "no such
process".

This quite old code inherited from autotest has several bugs in it. This
patch tries to keep most of the API but fixes the implementation.

The changes from original behavior are:

1. Using PartitionError for partition exceptions
2. Remove the `mkfs_exec` handler as avocado does not provide custom
   mkfs.ext4 binary
3. Improved locking in umount function
4. Completely rewritten force_unmount, now it should work properly
   and even supports `umount -l` to really unmount the partition.
5. Unmount returns 1 or 2 when it passes and raises exception on failure

avocado.plugins: Add TAP output plugin [v5]

One of the most important points of having TAP support is allowing
other tools to parse the results of the Avocado tests.  IMHO the best
way to test that we're producing sound TAP support is to use stable
implementations for that.

AFAIK, Perl is where TAP was born, and its TAP library is kind of a
reference implementation.  Let's use that, if available, to check if
our tap generation is sound.
