selftests: Introduce tc testsuite

Add the beginnings of a testsuite for tc functionality in the kernel.
These are a series of unit tests that use the tc executable and verify
the success of those commands by checking both the exit codes and the
output from tc's 'show' operation.

To run the tests:
  # cd tools/testing/selftests/tc-testing
  # sudo ./tdc.py

You can specify the tc executable to use with the -p argument on the command
line or editing the 'TC' variable in tdc_config.py. Refer to the README for
full details on how to run.

The initial complement of test cases are limited mostly to tc actions. Test
cases are most welcome; see the creating-testcases subdirectory for help
in creating them.

+tdc - Linux Traffic Control (tc) unit testing suite
+
+Author: Lucas Bates - lucasb@mojatatu.com
+
+tdc is a Python script to load tc unit tests from a separate JSON file and
+execute them inside a network namespace dedicated to the task.
+
+
+REQUIREMENTS
+------------
+
+*  Minimum Python version of 3.4. Earlier 3.X versions may work but are not
+   guaranteed.
+
+*  The kernel must have network namespace support
+
+*   The kernel must have veth support available, as a veth pair is created
+   prior to running the tests.
+
+*  All tc-related features must be built in or available as modules.
+   To check what is required in current setup run:
+   ./tdc.py -c
+
+   Note:
+   In the current release, tdc run will abort due to a failure in setup or
+   teardown commands - which includes not being able to run a test simply
+   because the kernel did not support a specific feature. (This will be
+   handled in a future version - the current workaround is to run the tests
+   on specific test categories that your kernel supports)
+
+
+BEFORE YOU RUN
+--------------
+
+The path to the tc executable that will be most commonly tested can be defined
+in the tdc_config.py file. Find the 'TC' entry in the NAMES dictionary and
+define the path.
+
+If you need to test a different tc executable on the fly, you can do so by
+using the -p option when running tdc:
+	./tdc.py -p /path/to/tc
+
+
+RUNNING TDC
+-----------
+
+To use tdc, root privileges are required. tdc will not run otherwise.
+
+All tests are executed inside a network namespace to prevent conflicts
+within the host.
+
+Running tdc without any arguments will run all tests. Refer to the section
+on command line arguments for more information, or run:
+	./tdc.py -h
+
+tdc will list the test names as they are being run, and print a summary in
+TAP (Test Anything Protocol) format when they are done. If tests fail,
+output captured from the failing test will be printed immediately following
+the failed test in the TAP output.
+
+
+USER-DEFINED CONSTANTS
+----------------------
+
+The tdc_config.py file contains multiple values that can be altered to suit
+your needs. Any value in the NAMES dictionary can be altered without affecting
+the tests to be run. These values are used in the tc commands that will be
+executed as part of the test. More will be added as test cases require.
+
+Example:
+	$TC qdisc add dev $DEV1 ingress
+
+
+COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS
+----------------------
+
+Run tdc.py -h to see the full list of available arguments.
+
+-p PATH           Specify the tc executable located at PATH to be used on this
+                  test run
+-c                Show the available test case categories in this test file
+-c CATEGORY       Run only tests that belong to CATEGORY
+-f FILE           Read test cases from the JSON file named FILE
+-l [CATEGORY]     List all test cases in the JSON file. If CATEGORY is
+                  specified, list test cases matching that category.
+-s ID             Show the test case matching ID
+-e ID             Execute the test case identified by ID
+-i                Generate unique ID numbers for test cases with no existing
+                  ID number
+

+Samir Hussain, for providing help while I dove into Python for the first time
+    and being a second eye for this code.

+tdc - Adding test cases for tdc
+
+Author: Lucas Bates - lucasb@mojatatu.com
+
+ADDING TEST CASES
+-----------------
+
+User-defined tests should be added by defining a separate JSON file.  This
+will help prevent conflicts when updating the repository. Refer to
+template.json for the required JSON format for test cases.
+
+Include the 'id' field, but do not assign a value. Running tdc with the -i
+option will generate a unique ID for that test case.
+
+tdc will recursively search the 'tc' subdirectory for .json files.  Any
+test case files you create in these directories will automatically be included.
+If you wish to store your custom test cases elsewhere, be sure to run tdc
+with the -f argument and the path to your file.
+
+Be aware of required escape characters in the JSON data - particularly when
+defining the match pattern. Refer to the tctests.json file for examples when
+in doubt.
+
+
+TEST CASE STRUCTURE
+-------------------
+
+Each test case has required data:
+
+id:           A unique alphanumeric value to identify a particular test case
+name:         Descriptive name that explains the command under test
+category:     A list of single-word descriptions covering what the command
+              under test is testing. Example: filter, actions, u32, gact, etc.
+setup:        The list of commands required to ensure the command under test
+              succeeds. For example: if testing a filter, the command to create
+              the qdisc would appear here.
+cmdUnderTest: The tc command being tested itself.
+expExitCode:  The code returned by the command under test upon its termination.
+              tdc will compare this value against the actual returned value.
+verifyCmd:    The tc command to be run to verify successful execution.
+              For example: if the command under test creates a gact action,
+              verifyCmd should be "$TC actions show action gact"
+matchPattern: A regular expression to be applied against the output of the
+              verifyCmd to prove the command under test succeeded. This pattern
+              should be as specific as possible so that a false positive is not
+              matched.
+matchCount:   How many times the regex in matchPattern should match. A value
+              of 0 is acceptable.
+teardown:     The list of commands to clean up after the test is completed.
+              The environment should be returned to the same state as when
+              this test was started: qdiscs deleted, actions flushed, etc.
+
+
+SETUP/TEARDOWN ERRORS
+---------------------
+
+If an error is detected during the setup/teardown process, execution of the
+tests will immediately stop with an error message and the namespace in which
+the tests are run will be destroyed. This is to prevent inaccurate results
+in the test cases.
+
+Repeated failures of the setup/teardown may indicate a problem with the test
+case, or possibly even a bug in one of the commands that are not being tested.
+
+It's possible to include acceptable exit codes with the setup/teardown command
+so that it doesn't halt the script for an error that doesn't matter. Turn the
+individual command into a list, with the command being first, followed by all
+acceptable exit codes for the command.
