autotest: Modify netperf runner to tolerate failures
At high attenuations, we sometimes see netperf timeout. This is
presumably because some control data needed to end the test is
having trouble getting from the server to the client or vice versa.
Fix this by optionally ignoring netperf command failures. Callers
will have to adjust their code to tolerate None results from netperf
sessions.
TEST=RvR tests using netperf don't fail when netperf runs fail. As a
pleasing side effect: since we might fail a TCP or UDP test before
running other TCP/UDP tests, this used to prevent us from running later
tests. With this change, this doesn't happen.
