From: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com>

The file is mostly a copy of the tests/avocado/avocado_qemu/__init__.py
file with some adjustments to get rid of the Avocado dependencies (i.e.
we also have to drop the LinuxSSHMixIn and LinuxTest for now).

The emulator binary and build directory are now passed via
environment variables that will be set via meson.build later.

We could just:

  os.makedirs(self.workdir, exist_ok = True)

Moving the 'path' line in [*] simplifies patch #9 (no duplication).
