This changes intends to reduce the bar to the kernel unit-testing by
introducing a new kernel-testing framework ("ktest") based on Netlink,
loadable test modules and python test suite integration.
This framework provides the following features:
* Integration to the FreeBSD test suite
* Automatic test discovery
* Automatic test module loading
* Minimal boiler-plate code in both kernel and userland
* Passing any metadata to the test
* Convenient environment pre-setup using python testing framework
* Streaming messages from the kernel to the userland
* Running tests in the dedicated taskqueues
* Skipping or parametrizing tests

* Move more logic from conftest.py to the actual atf_pytest handler
* Move nodeid_to_method_name() to the utils.py so it can be shared

Currently isolation and resource requirements are handled directly
by the kyua runner, based on the requirements specified by the test.
It works well for simple tests, but may cause discrepancy with tests
doing complex pre-setups. For example, all tests that perform
VNET setups require root access to properly function.
This change adds additional handling of the "require_user" property
within the python testing framework. Specifically, it requests
root access if the test class signals its root requirements and
drops privileges to the desired user after performing the pre-setup.

This change is a continuation of 9c42645a1e workaround.
Apparently pytest argument parser is not happy when parsing values
with spaces or just more than one --atf-var argument.
Switch wrapper to send these kv pairs as env variables. Specifically,
use _ATF_VAR_key=value format to distinguish from the other vars.
Add the `atf_vars` fixture returning all passed kv pairs as a dict.

Implementation consists of the pytest plugin implementing ATF format and
a simple C++ wrapper, which reorders the provided arguments from ATF format
to the format understandable by pytest. Each test has this wrapper specified
after the shebang. When kyua executes the test, wrapper calls pytest, which
loads atf plugin, does the work and returns the result. Additionally, a
separate python "package", `/usr/tests/atf_python` has been added to collect
code that may be useful across different tests.
Current limitations:
* Opaque metadata passing via X-Name properties. Require some fixtures to write
* `-s srcdir` parameter passed by the runner is ignored.
* No `atf-c-api(3)` or similar - relying on pytest framework & existing python libraries
* No support for `atf_tc_<get|has>_config_var()` & `atf_tc_set_md_var()`.
Can be probably implemented with env variables & autoload fixtures
