Risk: Medium
Visibility: Changes the test keyval interface, deprecating the existing
test.write_keyval method in favour of a pair of write_*_keyval methods
for writing test & iteration keyvals. The deprecated method will still
work as it did before, but will generate a warning.

Adds a new iteration_attributes table to the database for storing
generic string attributes on a per-iteration basis, in the same way
that test_attributes allows generic string attributes on a per-test
basis.

This also adds new methods to the test class for writing these keyvals
so that tests can write out attributes by calling
self.write_test_keyval (or self.write_iteration_keyval). The iteration
method accepts parameters for both generic attributes and performance
data.

In order to store both performance and non-performance data in the
iteration keyvals, the format of the line has been extended to look
like "key{blah}=value", with no {blah} being interpreted as equvalent
to "{perf}", for backwards compatiblity.
