The log file directory is configurable with run.py using the
--log-dir argument. This patch removes the use of /tmp as
the default dir for storing all test logs. The default
log dir is now set to show the year, month and day
of the test run. This provides a more meaningful aggregation
of test logs for effective troubleshooting. The default log
dir is set to <CWD>/test-run-YYYY-MM-DD.

Usage:
test/run.py -r -t {test_filter}
Instead of starting a new instance of VPP, when the -r argument
is provided, test is run against a running VPP instance. Optionally,
one can also set the VPP socket directory using the -d
argument. The default location for socket files is
/var/run/user/${uid}/vpp and /var/run/vpp if VPP is started
as root.

Use the script test/run.py to run a test named test_vm_tap
inside a QEMU VM. The run script builds out a virtual env,
launches a light weight QEMU VM, mounts host directories,
starts VPP inside the VM and runs the test. The test named
test_vm_tap, creates two tap v2 interfaces in separate Linux
namespaces and using iPerf, streams traffic between the VM
and VPP. All data files are stored in the directory named
/tmp/vpp-vm-tests. To clean up, use the make test-wipe
command.
Usage:
test/run.py --vm --debug --test test_vm_tap
