Block layer tests that involve QMP commands rather than qemu-img or
qemu-io are not well-suited for shell scripting. This patch adds a
Python module which allows tests to be written in Python instead.
The basic API is:
VM - class for launching and interacting with a VM
QMPTestCase - abstract base class for tests that use QMP
qemu_img() - wrapper function for invoking qemu-img
qemu_io() - wrapper function for invoking qemu-io
imgfmt - the image format under test (e.g. qcow2, qed)
test_dir - scratch directory path for temporary files
main() - entry point for running tests
