[libvirt PATCH 0/4] RFC: tests: introduce lavocado

lavocado aims to be an alternative test framework for the libvirt project using Python, python-libvirt and Avocado. This can be used to write unit, functional and integration tests and it is inspired by the libvirt-tck framework. This series introduces the basic framework along with some basic test examples that I got from libvirt-tck. I would appreciate your comments on this RFC, to see if this fits this project's needs. Also, names and locations are just a proposal and can be changed. For now, this framework assumes that you are going to run the tests in a fresh clean environment, i.e. a VM. If you decide to use your local system, beware that execution of the tests may affect your system. One of the future goals of this framework is to utilize nested virtualization technologies and hence make sure an L1 guest is provisioned automatically for the tests to be executed in this environment and not tamper with your main system. I'm adding more information with some details inside the README file.
