A set of improvements was introduced to enhance step driven
testcases capabilities.
Details:
* delay among test steps is configurable by TEST_STEP_DELAY
parameter
* step driven tool function exec was renamed to exec_shell
* new step driven tool function exec_python was introduced to execute
a python code
* new step driven object sleep was introduced to pause test execution
for defined number of seconds.
* fixed bug in settings.validate_getValue() to correctly validate
access of parameters modified by TEST_PARAMS
* new #PARAM() macro was introduced to allow references among
configuration parameters
* multistream support has been added into ixnetrfc2544v2.tcl,
which is used for tunneling protocols test (op2p deployment)
* fixed bug in op2p deployment to list interfaces and flows
from both bridges involved in the test
* test report updated to state exact rfcxxxx type of traffic
type, e.g. rfc2544_continuous
* test report of step driven testcases was updated to contain
measured values from traffic generator in CSV report
* method for ovs flow comparison was modified to normalize
IPv4 CIDR network addr (e.g. 10.0.0.5/8 => 10.0.0.0/8)

VSPERF by default requires allocation of hugepages with total
size of 10GB. However for MERGE and VERIFY jobs less memory is
required and default size of 10GB can cause issues. Thus amount
of memory was limited and other minor enhancements were introduced:
* sysstat system package is installed at nodes running VERIFY
and MERGE jobs
* WHITELIST_NICS was set to empty list by default to avoid
automatic bind of NICs to DPDK. Old default value could
cut off network connection to DUT.
* imports were fixed at both integration.py and testcase.py

In the past, step driven testcases were supported
only by integration testcases. This patch adds generic
support of TestSteps for both integration and performance
testcases. Step driven test were improved to support
modification of existing deployment. As part of
the patch a refactoring of traffic controllers
were performed. Traffic controllers were modified
to support trafficgen-off and trafficgen-pause
modes in all possible ways of trafficgen invocation.

Open vSwitch with DPDK can optimize memory usage
in case of NUMA architecture to avoid unnecessary
memory access across NUMA slots. In a nutshell,
PMD threads serving virtual NICs are co-located at
the same NUMA slot as QEMU instance, which is using
these NICs.
This patch adds new (functional) integration testcase,
which verifies OVS vHost User numa awareness feature.
Step driven test objects were updated to allow a call
of OS utilies and evaluation of conditions. Also the
documentation was updated with the list of supported
test objects and their methods.

Patch with multi VM support has changed the way
how data are copied into the shared folder. Also
new support of GUEST_ options expansion requires
proper initialization with exact number of VMs
involved in the test.
Code of class specific to integration tests
was updated to initialize both GUEST_ options
and VM shared dir correctly.
Original values of all GUEST_ options are restored
after the testcase execution. So other TCs can
use original values for configuration expansion
to required number of VMs.

During testcase development on the integration side, if
namespaces are used or veth ports and an exception is raised.
The namespaces and veth ports are not properly cleanup up
because the run_finalize does not get executed.
This patch wraps the testing block in a try block where
a finally will ALWAYS execute the run_finalize thus
preventing the possiblity of leftover testing artifacts.

Adds functionality for network namespaces and veth/peer ports
to connect the namespaces. The namespaces are tracked outside
of default Linux namespaces to prevent possible disruption of
work outside of VSPerf where a user may create a namespace and
the cleanup code deletes it. The cleanup code only removes
namespaces and veth ports created inside the testcase.

Integration TC support has been enhanced to support PVP
and PVVP scenarios. Definition of integration testcases
have been modified to use a sort of macros for repetitive
parts.
Additional improvements were introduced:
* instances of testcases are created only for testcases
selected for execution
* new TC definition options allow to define test specific
vswitch, VNF, traffic generator and test options
* tests filter applied on pattern specified by --tests
allows to define negative filter only; In that case
list of all tests is used as base for negative filter.
* traffic values defined within teststep passed to send_traffic
is merged with default values; This is essential for execution
of TCs with linux_bridge or SRIOV support. It also simplifies
integration TC definition
* typos removed

Generic support of SRIOV has been added. Virtual interfaces can be
used in multiplei scenarios instead of physical NICs. Virtual
functions can be directly accessed from VM by PCI passthrough method.
Another option is to use VFs with vSwtich to evaluate impact
on performance.
Additonal modifications:
* Automatic detection of NIC details has been added to simplify
configuration.
* Obsoleted configuration options have been removed.
* Logging usage within vsperf script was fixed.
* Vsperf main was refactored and final cleanup function added.
* Configurable forwarding mode of TestPMD executed inside VM.

Generic support for integration testcases with first
set of tests for vswitch testing.
New test option "TestSteps" has been introduced
to define test step by step directly in configuration
file.
In case that this concept will be accepted, there
are plenty of possibilities for future improvements.
For example:
* use it also for performance tests without explicit
call of validation methods
* introduce step macros for repetitive scenarios,
so new tests can be easily written
* further generalization, which would go beyond
usage of controllers and will operate directly
with vswitch, vnf and trafficgen objects
