Candidate revision checkbox_0.17.4

  * Launchpad automated translation updates

  [ Po-Hsu Lin]
  * jobs/power-management.txt.in: add product requirement for laptops into
    the power-management/lid test case. (LP: #1270689)
  * jobs/keys.txt.in - adde keys/microphone-mute to test the mute key for
    microphone.

  [ Rod Smith ]
  * Modified network test to fail on 80% rather than 40% of theoretical max
    speed.

  [Daniel Manrique]
  * jobs/graphics.txt.in: Use grep to work around bad exit codes from
    unity_support_test (LP: #1212618)
  * Added tests for 802.11ac networking, including environment variables for
    their settings, and updated whitelists accordingly.
  * scripts/sleep_test_log_check: Rewrote the parser logic to avoid missing
    failures due to file format changes (LP: #1201667)
  * parsers/udevadm: Added additional heuristics for video devices with
    PCI subclass "2", like newer NVidia GPUs (LP: #1270139)
  * checkbox/scripts/audio_settings: Place/read active_profiles in an
    absolute, known-writable location (LP: #1271707)
  * scripts/virtualization, scripts/network: Use specific environment
    variables for configuration, if available (LP: #1260507)
  * Removed suspend_test script which hasn't been touched in over 3 years
    and is not used in any jobs. (LP: #752881)
  * Changed touchpad_test to use default scrolling method, and added a switch
    to force edge scrolling if desired. Updated legacy tests to use edge
    scrolling when the test description makes that appropriate. (LP: #1259987)
  * scripts/virtualization: Shut down the VM properly so as to not damage the
    disk image; work properly with "second-boot" VM images (LP: #1259879)
  * jobs/stress.txt: Refer the stress log checking jobs to a single test file,
    rather than using wildcards, which causes strange results (LP: #1161718)
  * scripts/virtualization: Removed stray space in -net parameters causing
    test failures (LP: #1250568)
  * data/whitelists: Updated whitelists that require the new rtc resource
    (LP: #1251781)
  * jobs/ethernet.txt.in, jobs/wireless.txt.in: Added user-verify jobs to test
    maximum throughput versus interface's max supported speed.
  * scripts/network: Minor fixes and tweaks for nicer output and handling of
    Kb/s and Gb/s.
  * jobs/virtualization.txt.in: Set the kvm_check_vm test to run as root, to
    ensure we're running under kvm and not tcg. Modified tests for environment
    variables accordingly since we need to account for presence of proxy
    variables.
  * scripts/gpu_test: Revamped way of launching and stopping glxgears
    windows/threads, to make 100% sure that we find and close them all,
    avoiding leftover threads that cause the script not to exit.
    (LP: #1237199)
  * plugins/backend_info: Resolve and use full path to the backend script to
    ensure it runs when invoked via pkexec which is unhappy with relative
    paths (LP: #1240245)
  * scripts/fwts_test: Updated list of fwts tests to run, based on FWTS team
    recommendations (LP: #1228168)

  [ Chris Gregan ]
  * slight modification to existing touch tests to remove depends on failing
    mutitouch-automated
  * Updates made to touchpad and suspend jobs for new tests.
  * Updates made to the touchscreen jobs file for new tests.
  * jobs/suspend.txt.in - added tests for running iperf tests before and after
    suspend on all devices ether and wifi
  * jobs/wireless.txt.in - added tests for checking 80211 modules loaded and a
    script to scripts to execute that check named wireless_ext. Test added to run
    iwconfig query against all devices found on the system.
  * jobs/ethernet.txt.in - added test for running ethtool queries against all
    devices found on the system.

  [ Jeff Lane ]
  * scripts/network Handle ZeroDivisionError better (LP: #1257308)
  * Renamed networking.txt.in to ethernet.txt.in. Renamed all jobs and
    references to jobs with 'networking' in them to 'ethernet'
  * scripts/storage_test: script now ensures there is enough free disk space
    before running bonnie++ and adjusts bonnie++ parameters accordingly if
    necessary (LP: #1217268)

  [ Zygmunt Krynicki ]
  * Make plainbox-service a transitional package that depends on
    checkbox-ng-service.
  * Drop dependency from plainbox to checkbox, as it is not really required
    and used to be there so that plainbox would see all of the jobs. Now with
    fine-grained job providers this is no longer needed.
  * Remove the GTK+ and Urwid interfaces

  [ Manoj Iyer ]
  * Make cpu stress test work with cloud instances. Cloud instances have
    typically have limited resources so added logic to utilize less memory,
    at the same time keeping the CPU utilization unchanged at 100%.

  [ Brendan Donegan ]
  * scripts/brightness_test - Update get_best_interface function to use
    heuristic prescribed by the kernel for selecting the backlight
    interface to use (LP: #1250437)
  * jobs/resources.txt.in, jobs/power-management.txt.in - refactor rtc test so
    that it actually tests the RTC instead of just checking for its presence.
    Also create a resource job to allow other jobs to determine if an RTC is
    present. (LP: #1184733)
  * jobs/ethernet.txt.in, jobs/wireless.txt.in, scripts/network - added tests
    to stress the connection and monitor for dropped/delayed packets and
    implemented the logic for them in the network script.
  * jobs/resource.txt.in, jobs/virtualization.txt.in - added kvm resource job
    which states whether the hardware supports KVM. Remove kvm_ok job and
    use the kvm resource job to determine if kvm_check_vm should run
    (LP: #1236776)
  * jobs/keys.txt.in - added keys/keyboard-backlight job to test keyboard
    backlight toggle key.
  * scripts/network - restore other interfaces that were downed prior to running
    the network test (LP: #1238570)
  * scripts/virtualization - run qemu-system-arm on ARM platform (LP: #1184765)
  * jobs/virtualization.txt.in - remove virtualization-check test and the
    virt_check script (LP: #1227071)

  [ Jeff Marcom ]
  * scripts/network - added iperf test benchmark testing capabilities.
  * scripts/network: now exits with proper exit code when poor networking
  performance is detected.

  [ Yung Shen ]
  * jobs/keys.txt.in - added keys/hibernate job to test hibernate key
    and keys/keyboard-overhead-light job to test the key.

  [ Taihsiang Ho ]
  * checkbox-old/jobs/keys.txt.in - added keys/lock-screen job to test
    lock screen key.
  * checkbox-old/scripts/lock_screen_watcher - the script for keys/lock-screen job

  [ Sylvain Pineau ]
  * jobs/resource.txt.in, scripts/wifi_interface_mode_resource: new resource
    job to detect the wifi chip supported interface modes.
  * codecs.txt.in, info.txt.in, install.txt.in, networking.txt.in and
    server-services.txt.in: Fixed "requires" expresions using the "and"
    operator.
