Rewrite tests #27

Open gbiggs opened 9 years ago

The tests have become extremely fragile. They must be re-written to:

Separate them properly out into individual test cases.
Work against the library APIs primarily
Test the commands for correct output (stdout, stderr, returncode, effect on components; etc.) in relation to input
More cleanly manage starting and stopping the name server, manager, and components, to guarantee a clean slate for each test.

A major cause of the fragility is the fragility of the rtcd daemon and component managers. They regularly segfault in the middle of tests.
