Framework for host verification and repair in Autotest.
The framework provides implementation code in support of `Host.verify()`
and `Host.repair()` used in Verify and Repair special tasks.
The framework consists of these classes:
* `Verifier`: A class representing a single verification check.
* `RepairAction`: A class representing a repair operation that can fix
a failed verification check.
* `RepairStrategy`: A class for organizing a collection of `Verifier`
and `RepairAction` instances, and invoking them in order.
Individual operations during verification and repair are handled by
instances of `Verifier` and `RepairAction`. `Verifier` objects are
meant to test for specific conditions that may cause tests to fail.
`RepairAction` objects provide operations designed to fix one or
more failures identified by a `Verifier` object.

Abstract class embodying one verification check.
A concrete subclass of `Verifier` provides a simple check that can
determine a host's fitness for testing. Failure indicates that the
check found a problem that can cause at least one test to fail.
`Verifier` objects are organized in a DAG identifying dependencies
among operations. The DAG controls ordering and prevents wasted
effort: If verification operation V2 requires that verification
operation V1 pass, then a) V1 will run before V2, and b) if V1
fails, V2 won't run at all. The `_verify_host()` method ensures
that all dependencies run and pass before invoking the `verify()`
method.
A `Verifier` object caches its result the first time it calls
`verify()`. Subsequent calls return the cached result, without
re-running the check code. The `_reverify()` method clears the
cached result in the current node, and in all dependencies.
Subclasses must supply these properties and methods:
* `verify()`: This is the method to perform the actual
verification check.
* `description`: A one-line summary of the verification check for
debug log messages.
Subclasses must override all of the above attributes; subclasses
should not override or extend any other attributes of this class.
The description string should be a simple sentence explaining what
must be true for the verifier to pass. Do not include a terminating
period. For example:

A class for organizing `Verifier` and `RepairAction` objects.
An instance of `RepairStrategy` is organized as a DAG of `Verifier`
objects, plus a list of `RepairAction` objects. The class provides
methods for invoking those objects in the required order, when
needed:
* The `verify()` method walks the verifier DAG in dependency
order.
* The `repair()` method invokes the repair actions in list order.
Each repair action will invoke its dependencies and triggers as
needed.
# The Verifier DAG
The verifier DAG is constructed from the first argument passed to
the passed to the `RepairStrategy` constructor. That argument is an
iterable consisting of three-element tuples in the form
`(constructor, tag, deps)`:
* The `constructor` value is a callable that creates a `Verifier`
as for the interface of the class constructor. For classes
that inherit the default constructor from `Verifier`, this can
be the class itself.
* The `tag` value is the tag to be associated with the constructed
verifier.
* The `deps` value is an iterable (e.g. list or tuple) of strings.
Each string corresponds to the `tag` member of a `Verifier`
dependency.
The tag names of verifiers in the constructed DAG must all be
unique. The tag name defined by `RepairStrategy.ROOT_TAG` is
reserved and may not be used by any verifier.
In the input data for the constructor, dependencies must appear
before the nodes that depend on them. Thus:
((A, 'a', ()), (B, 'b', ('a',))) # This is valid
((B, 'b', ('a',)), (A, 'a', ())) # This will fail!
Internally, the DAG of verifiers is given unique root node. So,
given this input:
((C, 'c', ()),
(A, 'a', ('c',)),
(B, 'b', ('c',)))
The following DAG is constructed:
Root
/ \
A B
\ /
C
Since nothing depends on `A` or `B`, the root node guarantees that
these two verifiers will both be called and properly logged.
The root node is not directly accessible; however repair actions can
trigger on it by using `RepairStrategy.ROOT_TAG`. Additionally, the
node will be logged in `status.log` whenever `verify()` succeeds.
# The Repair Actions List
The list of repair actions is constructed from the second argument
passed to the passed to the `RepairStrategy` constructor. That
argument is an iterable consisting of four-element tuples in the
form `(constructor, tag, deps, triggers)`:
* The `constructor` value is a callable that creates a
`RepairAction` as for the interface of the class constructor.
For classes that inherit the default constructor from
`RepairAction`, this can be the class itself.
* The `tag` value is the tag to be associated with the constructed
repair action.
* The `deps` value is an iterable (e.g. list or tuple) of strings.
Each string corresponds to the `tag` member of a `Verifier` that
the repair action depends on.
* The `triggers` value is an iterable (e.g. list or tuple) of
strings. Each string corresponds to the `tag` member of a
`Verifier` that can trigger the repair action.
`RepairStrategy` deps and triggers can only refer to verifiers,
not to other repair actions.
