The iperf based test commands create a bunch of .bw and .pid files for
each iperf client and server.  The server side .bw files are cleaned
up afterwards, but the pid files are not, and none of the client side
files are cleaned up.  The latter doesn't really matter when the
client is run on ephemeral guests, but sometimes we run it in a
namespace that shares the filesystem with the host.

Clean up all of these files after the tests.

<title>tests: Use dhclient --no-pid for namespaces in two_guests tests</title>

Before starting the guests, these tests configure addresses in a pasta
namespace using dhclient.  However, because it's a user namespace, it's
not running as "real" root and can't write to the dhclient pid file.
This doesn't stop it working, but causes an ugly error message which we
can avoid by using the --no-pid option.

<title>tests: Remove unnecessary ^D in passt_in_ns teardown</title>

teardown_passt_in_ns() sends a ^D to the NS pane, which appears to be
intended to terminate the nsenter running there, leaving the namespace.
However, we've also sent a ^D to the PASST pane which will exit the pasta
instance which created the namespace.  With the namespace destroyed the
nsenter in the NS pane will be killed, so it does not need to be exited
explicitly.

In fact sending the extra ^D can be harmful, since it will exit the shell
in which the nsenter was run, causing the whole pane to be closed.  That
can then mean that the "pane_wait NS" hangs indefinitely.  I believe this
will sometimes work, because there's a race between the various options
here, but it should be more reliable without the extra ^D.

<title>tests: Fix detection of empty 'hout' responses in passt{,_in_ns} tests</title>

<content type='text'>
The dhcp/passt and dhcp/passt_in_ns tests at least, and maybe others
use 'hout' commands that need to be able to detect empty output.
However, we don't set PS1, which means the screen-scraping logic which
detects this may not be reliable.  In addition, if the host is using a
recent bash, it will have bracketed paste mode enabled which will also
add escape codes which will mess up the empty output detection.

Set the prompt and disable bracketed paste mode from the passt and
passt_in_ns setups to avoid these problems.

Similar case as the one fixed by David's patch "tests: Remove

close panes by unnecessarily exiting the parent shells there, and
subsequent pane_wait directives hang.

<title>tests: Explicitly list test files in test/run, remove "onlyfor" support</title>

Currently test/run uses wildcards to run all of the tests in a directory.
However, that wildcard list is filtered down by the "onlyfor" directives
in the test files... usually to a single file.

Therefore, just explicitly list the files we *really* want to run for this
test mode.  This makes it easier to see at the top level what tests will
be executed, and to change that list temporarily while debugging specific
failures.

This means the "onlyfor" directive no longer has any purpose, and we can
remove it.  "onlyfor" was also the only used of the $MODE variable, so we
can remove that too.

<title>tests: Don't automatically traverse directories of test files</title>

The top level listing control of which tests to run is in test/run, however
it uses the test() function which runs an entire directory of test files,
filtered by some criteria.  This makes it awkward to narrow down to a
subset of tests when debugging a specific failure.

To make this easier, have test() take an explicit list of test files to
run, and have the caller in test/run handle the directory traversal.  The
construct we use for this is pretty awkward to handle the fact that we're
in the source tree root directory rather than test/ at this point in
test/run.  Later cleanups will improve that.

<title>tests: Remove not-very-useful "req" directive</title>

<content type='text'>
The test scripts support a "req" directive which requires one test script
to be run before another.  It's implemented by doing a topological sort
based on these directives in the runner scripts, which is about as awkward
as you'd expect in Bourne shell.

It turns out we only use this functionality in one place - to make the
"make install" test run after the plain "make" test.  We also already have
a simpler way of making sure tests run in a specific order: just put them
into the same test script file.

So, remove support for the "req" directive and just fold the build/all and
build/install test scripts together.

Move the download of mbuto and using it to create a sample initramfs to
the asset build makefile, rather than embedding it in the test scripts
themselves.

The two_guests tests used to use two separate copies of the mbuto
image.  As an initramfs the mbuto image is strictly readonly though,
so that's not necessary.  So, also use the same image for both guests.
