Use a Python process pool to run the tests in parallel.
Not all tests can run in parallel, for instance tests that are not
namespaced and tests that use netdevsim, as they can conflict with one
another.
The code logic will split the tests into serial and parallel.
For the parallel tests, we build batches of 32 tests and queue each
batch on the process pool. For the serial tests, they are queued as a
whole into the process pool, which in turn executes them concurrently
with the parallel tests.
Even though the tests serialize on rtnl_lock in the kernel, this feature
showed results with a ~3x speedup on the wall time for the entire test suite
running in a VM:
Before - 4m32.502s
After - 1m19.202s
Examples:
In order to run tdc using 4 processes:
./tdc.py -J4 <...>
In order to run tdc using 1 process:
./tdc.py -J1 <...> || ./tdc.py <...>
Note that the kernel configuration will affect the speed of the tests,
especially if such configuration slows down process creation and/or
fork().

As of today, the current tdc architecture creates one netns and uses it
to run all tests. This assumption was embedded into the nsPlugin which
carried over as how the tests were written.
The tdc tests are by definition self contained and can,
theoretically, run in parallel. Even though in the kernel they will
serialize over the rtnl lock, we should expect a significant speedup of the
total wall time for the entire test suite, which is hitting close to
1100 tests at this point.
A first step to achieve this goal is to remove sharing of global resources like
veth/dummy interfaces and the netns. In this patch we 'localize' these
resources on a per test basis. Each test gets it's own netns, VETH/dummy interfaces.
The resources are spawned in the pre_suite phase, where tdc will prepare
all netns and interfaces for all tests. This is done in order to avoid
concurrency issues with netns / interfaces spawning and commands using
them. As tdc progresses, the resources are deleted after each test finishes
executing.
Tests that don't use the nsPlugin still run under the root namespace,
but are now required to manage any external resources like interfaces.
These cannot be parallelized as their definition doesn't allow it.
On the other hand, when using the nsPlugin, tests don't need to create
dummy/veth interfaces as these are handled already.

the following tdc test fails on Fedora:
# ./tdc.py -e 2638
-- ns/SubPlugin.__init__
Test 2638: Add matchall and try to get it
-----> prepare stage *** Could not execute: "$TC qdisc add dev $DEV1 clsact"
-----> prepare stage *** Error message: "/bin/sh: ip: command not found"
returncode 127; expected [0]
-----> prepare stage *** Aborting test run.
Let nsPlugin.py use the 'IP' variable introduced with commit 92c1a19e2fb9
("tc-tests: added path to ip command in tdc"), so that the path to 'ip' is
correctly resolved to the value we have in tdc_config.py.
# ./tdc.py -e 2638
-- ns/SubPlugin.__init__
Test 2638: Add matchall and try to get it
All test results:
1..1
ok 1 2638 - Add matchall and try to get it

This patch restores the original behaviour for tdc prior to the
introduction of the plugin system, where the network namespace
functionality was split from the main script.
It introduces the concept of required plugins for testcases,
and will automatically load any plugin that isn't already
enabled when said plugin is required by even one testcase.
Additionally, the -n option for the nsPlugin is deprecated
so the default action is to make use of the namespaces.
Instead, we introduce -N to not use them, but still create
the veth pair.
buildebpfPlugin's -B option is also deprecated.
If a test cases requires the features of a specific plugin
in order to pass, it should instead include a new key/value
pair describing plugin interactions:
"plugins": {
"requires": "buildebpfPlugin"
},
A test case can have more than one required plugin: a list
can be inserted as the value for 'requires'.

Move the functionality of creating a namespace before the test suite
and destroying it afterwards to a plugin.
