Marcos Dione: ayrton-0.7

Another long-ish cycle (1.5 months, more or less). That's what two weeks of vacation do to the project.

This time I fixed executing things in, and handling the standard streams between the ayrton script and, the remote(), so now we can run complex programs like vi and mc. The ChangeLog:

• Send data to/from the remote via another ssh channel, which is more stable than using stdin.
• Stabilized a lot all tests, specially those using a mocked stdout for getting test validation.
• A lot of tests have been moved to their own scripts in ayrton/tests/scripts, which also work as (very minimal) examples of what's working.
• Use flake8 to check the code.
• Move remote() to its own source.
• API change: if a str or bytes object is passed in _in, then it's the name of a file where to read stdin. If it's an int, then it's considered a file descriptor. This makes the API consistent to _out and _err handling.
• More error handling.
• Fixed errors with global variables handling.
• argv is handled at the last time possible, allowing it being passed from test invocation.
• shift complains on negative values.
• Lazy pprint(), so debug statements do not do useless work.
• stdin/out/err handling in remote() is done by a single thread.
• Modify a lot the local terminal when in remote() so, among other things, we have no local echo.
• Properly pass the terminal type and size to the remote. These last three features allow programs like vi be run in the remote.
• Paved the road to make remote()s more like Command()s.
