By default in Python 3, check_output() returns a program's output as
an encoded byte sequence. This means it returns a Py3 `bytes` object,
which cannot be compared to a string since it's a different fundamental
type.
Although it might not be correct from a purist standpoint, from a
practical one we can assume that all output is encoded in the default
locale, in which case using universal_newlines=True will decode it
according to the current locale. Anyway, universal_newlines also
has the nice behavior that it converts \r\n to \n on Windows platforms
so this makes parsing code easier, should we need that. So it seems
like a win/win.

This module was originally intended to be imported by top-level
scripts to be able to find the LLDB packages and third party
libraries. Packages themselves shouldn't need to import it,
because by the time it gets into the package, the top-level
script should have already done this. Indeed, it was just
adding the same values to sys.path multiple times, so this
patch is essentially no functional change.
To make sure it doesn't get re-introduced, we also delete the
`use_lldb_suite` module from `lldbsuite/test`, although the
original copy still remains in `lldb/test`

The `commands` module was deprecated in 2.7 and removed in 3.x.
As a workaround, we introduce a new module `seven` in
lldbsuite.support, and write helper functions in there that delegate
to the commands module if it is available, and re-implement their
functionality for cases where it is not available.

For convenience, we had added the folder that dotest.py was in
to sys.path, so that we could easily write things like
`import lldbutil` from anywhere and any test. This introduces
a subtle problem when using Python's package system, because when
unittest2 imports a particular test suite, the test suite is detached
from the package. Thus, writing "import lldbutil" from dotest imports
it as part of the package, and writing the same line from a test
does a fresh import since the importing module was not part of
the same package.
The real way to fix this is to use absolute imports everywhere. Instead
of writing "import lldbutil", we need to write "import
lldbsuite.test.util". This patch fixes up that and all other similar
cases, and additionally removes the script directory from sys.path
to ensure that this can't happen again.

I think the underlying problem was fixed by r251819, but I can't
reproduce the problem. So this is to check whether it does in
fact fix the problem.

packages/Python/lldbsuite is now a Python package, and it relies
on its __init__.py being called to do package-level initialization.
If you exec packages/Python/lldbsuite/dotest.py directly, you won't
get this package level initialization, and things will fail. But
without this patch, this is exactly what dosep itself does. To
launch the multi-processing fork, it was hardcoding a path to
dotest.py and exec'ing it from inside the package.
The fix here is to get the path of the top-level script, and
then exec'ing that instead. A more robust solution would involve
refactoring the code so that dosep execs some internal script that
imports lldbsuite, but that's a bit more involved.

It turns out that lldbtest_config was being imported locally to "lldbsuite.test" instead of globally, so when the test cases got individually brought by a global import via __import__ by unittest2, they did not see the lldbtest_config import, and ended up importing a new separate copy of it, with lldbExec unset
This is a simple hackaround that brings lldbtest_config to global visibility and makes sure the configuration data is correctly shared

This is the conclusion of an effort to get LLDB's Python code
structured into a bona-fide Python package. This has a number
of benefits, but most notably the ability to more easily share
Python code between different but related pieces of LLDB's Python
infrastructure (for example, `scripts` can now share code with
`test`).
