In performance tests, it can be counter-productive to spread torture-test
guest OSes across sockets. Plus the experimenter might have ideas about
what CPUs individual guest OSes are to run on. This commit therefore
adds a --no-affinity parameter to kvm.sh to prevent it from running
taskset on its guest OSes.

This commit drags the rcutorture scripting kicking and screaming into the
twenty-first century by making use of the BSD-derived mktemp command to
create temporary files and directories. In happy contrast to many of its
ill-behaved predecessors, mktemp seems to actually work reasonably reliably!

This commit causes kvm-test-1-run-batch.sh to use the new
kvm-assign-cpus.sh and kvm-get-cpus-script.sh scripts to create a
TORTURE_AFFINITY environment variable containing either an empty string
(for no affinity) or a list of CPUs to pin the scenario's vCPUs to.
The additional change to kvm-test-1-run.sh places the per-scenario
number-of-CPUs information where it can easily be found.
If there is some reason why affinity cannot be supplied, this commit
prints and logs the reason via changes to kvm-again.sh.
Finally, this commit updates the kvm-remote.sh script to copy the
qemu-affinity output files back to the host system.

This commit causes kvm.sh to use the new kvm-assign-cpus.sh and
kvm-get-cpus-script.sh scripts to create a TORTURE_AFFINITY environment
variable containing either an empty string (for no affinity) or a list
of CPUs to pin the scenario's vCPUs to. A later commit will make
use of this information to actually pin the vCPUs.

This commit adds a kvm-again.sh script that, given the results directory
of a torture-test run, re-runs that test. This means that the kernels
need not be rebuilt, but it also is a step towards running torture tests
on remote systems.
This commit also adds a kvm-test-1-run-batch.sh script that runs one
batch out of the torture test. The idea is to copy a results directory
tree to remote systems, then use kvm-test-1-run-batch.sh to run batches
on these systems.
