Tobias Brunner 7a87381840 testing: Rename interfaces and bridges so they are easier to identify
This simplifies capturing traffic with Wireshark on the host as each of
the guest's interfaces is clearly identified.
The three bridges were previously numbered starting from 0, this scheme
is restored here.

Tobias Brunner 9525e9c506 testing: Don't use a specific version for the QEMU machine type
The previously used pc-1.1 is not yet available on e.g. Ubuntu 12.04.
With 'pc' the most current supported version of that type is used.

Reto Buerki 2c4954ad24 Switch to 'mapped' access mode for hostfs
Passthrough mode only works as expected when running as root. On
Debian/Ubuntu systems qemu runs as user 'libvirt-qemu' and group 'kvm'
so all shared files must be chowned to grant access from guests.

Symlinks created on the host are still problematic because the Plan 9
filesystem has no direct notion of symbolic links, see [1].

Reto Buerki 0593b6c975 Export compile directory to guests
Use 9p over virtio to share files on the host with the guest domains.
The files are accessible in the guests /hostfs directory.

Reto Buerki 8ed98c1373 Switch from raw images to qcow2 format
This allows to use minimal copy-on-write clones of the base image as
guest images, which in turn saves a lot of disk space.

Reto Buerki 9b3316ed27 Use qemu/KVM virtualization instead of UML
Guest and network configuration is setup using the libvirt
virtualization API. The [start|stop]_testing scripts have been updated
accordingly.

qemu/KVM does not currently support a hostfs, so the shared build tree
mount has been dropped for now.
