This way we benefit from:
* knowing which attributes are used/required by each object class and
subclass
* Having validation function definitions near the class going to use them

This commit fixes combination of resources containing lists.
For lists containing complex types, it has been decided to handle them
as sorted list, where position in list matters. In this case, combine is
called recursively for each element in dest and src sharing position in
the list, and assumes that if one list is shorter than the other, then
it has to be combined against empty set for that tye.
For instance this is useful when defining trx_list properties, where a
BTS can have a different amount of TRX but we may be interested in
restricting the first TRX and don't care about extra TRX.
For lists containing simple types (eg. integers or strings), we just want
to merge both lists and we only need to check if the value is already there,
ie. handle them as unsortered sets. This case won't work if we call combine
for each element of the list because for a simple case it will just end up
checking if a[i] == b[i].
This kind of operation for simple types is needed in later commits where
cipher attribute is introduced. Without this patch, having following 2
scenarios and trying them to use together "-s foosuite:cipher-a50+ciphera51"
will fail:
cipher_a50.conf:
bts:
- ciphers:
- 'a5 0'
cipher_a51.conf
bts:
- ciphers:
- 'a5 1'
ValueError: cannot combine dicts, conflicting items (values 'a5 0' and 'a5 1')

Apply various fixes that arose from test case code rot. These tests will now be
used to verify patches submitted to gerrit, so they need to be up to par.
