Adds support for using client-side profilers from the server side.
This makes a few significant infrastructure changes in order the
support this:
- it modifies autotest.py to allow "background" clients to be
launched, where the server simply kicks off a client as a
background process without bothering to monitor it
- it adds a profiler_test test which is not a "real" test but is
instead used to allow the server to start & stop the profilers
in a reasonably controlled way
Currently, this still lacks any support for dealing with reboots; if
a test reboots the remote machine then the profilers will not be
restarted and the logs collected will only go as far as the first
reboot.
Risk: Medium
Visibility: You can use profilers from the server side (via
job.profilers.add and job.profilers.delete)
