selftests/tc-testing: localize test resources

As of today, the current tdc architecture creates one netns and uses it
to run all tests. This assumption was embedded into the nsPlugin which
carried over as how the tests were written.

The tdc tests are by definition self contained and can,
theoretically, run in parallel. Even though in the kernel they will
serialize over the rtnl lock, we should expect a significant speedup of the
total wall time for the entire test suite, which is hitting close to
1100 tests at this point.

A first step to achieve this goal is to remove sharing of global resources like
veth/dummy interfaces and the netns. In this patch we 'localize' these
resources on a per test basis. Each test gets it's own netns, VETH/dummy interfaces.
The resources are spawned in the pre_suite phase, where tdc will prepare
all netns and interfaces for all tests. This is done in order to avoid
concurrency issues with netns / interfaces spawning and commands using
them. As tdc progresses, the resources are deleted after each test finishes
executing.

Tests that don't use the nsPlugin still run under the root namespace,
but are now required to manage any external resources like interfaces.
These cannot be parallelized as their definition doesn't allow it.
On the other hand, when using the nsPlugin, tests don't need to create
dummy/veth interfaces as these are handled already.
