It has been notified that current configuration system is difficult to
understand and to use, so it has been envisioned to refactor it a bit.
The idea is that the user passes a -c path/to/main.conf file, which in
turn contains whatever osmo-gsm-tester main settings supports (basically
what old paths.conf used to be, plus some files harcoded to the same -c
directory are now configurable through the main configuration file).

Environment variable OSMO_GSM_TESTER_CONF is marked as deprecated and an
error is logged each time it's used. Same feature is available through
"-c" command line parameters, so having the envvar only makes things
more complex for no good reason. It cannot yet be completely dropped
since some environemnt still make use of it. Give some time to users to
adapt their setups.
Other environment variables setting some config apths can be dropped
since they are not being really used in any setup.

test -x for an empty string is still true. Check if the result of
command is empty or not. It seems to work for the negative case now.

It's not common to run journald inside containers and the journalctl
command is not installed. Don't attempt to run it.

The binary tars are fairly large, and usually one wants to investigate the run
dir logs without any need to download the binaries. Archive the binary tars
separately from the run logs.

Previously, the idea was to run a test remotely via SSH. This has moved to
operating an actual jenkins build slave on the main unit, which simplifies
things.
Also, previously (in the old osmo-gsm-tester), there was a daemon running,
accepting new trials by a directory appearing. Now, we're directly launching a
test run, which simplifies things.
Remove all SSH stuff from the "run" script.
Compose the checksums of the built binary-tars in the actual build jobs. In the
"run" job, only combine those checksums to one file. (Otherwise we would
compose the sums after transmitting over the network to the build slave.)
Instead of storing trials in a common location on the system, just keep one
trial in the workspace per run. After the run, tar up the trial dir to enable
easy archiving of build results.
The common location on the system might still be a good idea if we're one day
going to move to concurrent runs with scheduling of hardware resources, but so
far we're having simple one-shot runs.

In the example config and the jenkins scripts, use paths below common parent
dir /var/tmp/osmo-gsm-tester.
1. example: put the state dir in /var/tmp/osmo-gsm-tester/state, instead of in
the config dir like /etc/osmo-gsm-tester.
2. contrib scripts: place trials in /var/tmp/osmo-gsm-tester/trials, and to
move into place atomically, use /var/tmp/osmo-gsm-tester/.prep-trials as
temporary location.
The OsmoGSMTester manual is currently also being updated to setup these paths,
with /var/tmp/osmo-gsm-tester owned by a common group and having group-sticky
as well has group-writable access rules.
