Summary: Remove 'client global keyval' retrieving, as it is a no-op most of the time
autoserv does have code that tries to retrieve a client side 'global'
keyval file (global in the sense it's not associated to a test, and
placed on the results directory (client/results/default/keyval)). Turns
out that such a keyval is not automatically generated by the autotest
client, and the only way to generate it would be the user using the
write_keyval APIs directly at the control file level. So if someone
wants to use such a feature, it would be better handled on a site
internal extension. On the upstream repo only causes noise on the server
log files.
After conversation with Steve and John we think the best approach would
just be to get rid of this part of the code. I have a patch ready for
0.10 and this is the one for the development branch (trunk).
Risk: Low (This is a no-op in the vast majority of the cases anyway)
Visibility: Autoserv users in general will notice one less failure on
their logs.
