The os.fork() call creates extra complexity because it forks the entire
process including the python interpreter. ip() then calls cmd() which
creates a subprocess.Popen. We can avoid the extra layering by simply
calling subprocess.Popen directly. Track the process handles directly
and terminate them at cleanup rather than relying on killall. Further
tcpdump's -Z flag attempts to change savefile ownership, which is not
supported by the 9p protocol. Fix this by writing pcap captures to
"/tmp" during the test and move them to the log directory after tcpdump
exits.
