The 'run_cmd' helper is re-implementing a convenient helper that
already exists in the form of the 'run' and 'check_call' methods
provided by 'subprocess'.

Replace any instances of
os.path.join(self.workdir, ".../...")
self.workdir + "/.../..."
with
self.scratch_file("...", "...")
which is more compact and portable

The 'which' helper is simpler, not depending on the external 'which'
binary, and is sufficient for test needs.

The tuxrun tests send a series of strings to the guest to login
and then run commands. Since we have been unable to match on
console output that isn't followed by a newline, the test used
many time.sleep() statements to pretend to synchronize with
the guest.
This has proved to be unreliable for the aarch64be instance of
the tuxrun tests, with the test often hanging. The hang is a
very subtle timing problem, and it is suspected that some
(otherwise apparently harmless) I/O error messages could be
resulting in full FIFO buffers, stalling interaction with
the guest.
With the newly rewritten console interaction able to match
strings that don't have a following newline, the tux run
tests can now match directly on the login prompt, and/or
shell PS1 prompt.

Historical bugs in avocado related to zstd support are not relevant to

The zstd command will preserve the input archive permissions on the
output file. So when we decompress the readonly cached image, the
resulting per-test run private disk image will also be readonly.
We need it to be writable, so make it so.

Add a base class for the TuxRun tests, based on the code from
tests/avocado/tuxrun_baselines.py (the test have to be put into
separate file in the following commits, depending on the target
architecture that gets tested).
