Start the cleanup of diagnose_env to allow the running of topotests
on platforms besides linux.
So we split up diagnose_env into linux and freebsd variants.
At this point in time freebsd doesn't have any special code.
To be determined in the future.

In the case where vrf backend is based on NETNS, the link enable command
switches from context so as to perform the command.

topotest library is being added a new parameter when preparing the
configurationof each daemon. This parameter will be used to call the
daemon with some extra parameters. The -n parameter for zebra is taken
into account.
Also, when a extra parameter is given for calling zebra, a check is done to
see if it is possible to run zebra daemon with that option. This is the
case for vrfwnetns option. If not available, an error message is sent
back.

Use the pytest assert function to be able to report to pytest failures
that happened inside the API.

The messages level of this commit were downgraded because some of them
happen on 'non-error' situations. This should help diminish the error
log verbosity on the CI-system run.
Having a generic start/stop methods for TopoGear allows TopoGen to call
start/stop for all equipments. This allows us to reduce the teardown
code by removing the necessity of having to always remember to call
each equipment clean up function.
Auto configure daemon logging files to the appropriated place. This
removes the responsibility from the test developer to set this in the
daemon configuration.
TopoRouters now create a logger (which logs to /tmp/{router_name}.log)
on start to record all commands and events that it goes through. All log
messages contain timestamps that may be used in the future to:
(1) correlate commands call with events
(2) benchmark/time command speed
The default logger (root) is already being used by Mininet, so to allow
customizing logging output and configuring log files Topolog was
created. Topolog is no more than a thin layer abstraction to call
logging functions without using the 'root' logger.
Use a configuration file for casual settings like:
* Verbosity level (helps when debugging mininet issues)
* Custom daemon directory (in order to support running different daemon
binaries without touching tests)
* Daemon type switch: allow running quagga without touching any test
files
Also fix the add_router() documentation to include all options.
Allow vtysh_cmd() to convert JSON output to Python data structures.
This feature will be used to get vtysh JSON outputs for tests
comparsions.
Usage example:
```py
router = get_topogen().gears['r1']
json_output = router.vtysh_cmd('show ip ospf json', isjson=True)
json_cmp(json_output, {'important_key': 'important_value'})
```
After some feedback from mwinter@, the names of equipments are now
shorter to make it easier to type them and to keep consistency with
mininet documentation. While here, update the template and make it use
optional name parameters for clarity.
This commit changes how topology links are made in order to support
discovering who and what link is the node interface connected to. After
that, the implementation of the link state change functions were trivial
as calling a command in the node shell.
The method run() was moved from TopoRouter to TopoGear so all equipment
types can benefit from this code.
Topogen (Topology Generator) is a helper that wraps around Topotest to
simplify some of the boilerplate code. This abstraction will help the
development of new tests and new APIs without breaking the existing
ones. It also makes the relation of objects clearer, since we no longer
touch the Mininet API directly, which in turn also makes us less
vulnerable to external API changes.
