[PATCH v2 0/3] iotests: add JobRunner framework

[John Snow]

Requires: address@hidden

(This requires the iotests pylint & logging series.)

The basic idea is to make a generic job runtime manager and allow
callers to subclass the manager. Then, instead of adding callback
arguments to the function all the time, we have à la carte customization
of the loop.

To showcase this a little bit, I removed the pre_finalization argument
and made existing callers use a custom JobRunner; and then converted
test 040 to use this style of job runner.

Is it a simplification? No. Is it cool? Maybe. Did it remove the
duplicated job-running code in 040? yes.

V2:
 - Rebased on logging series; logging conditionals are pretty now.
 - Inlined callback login in 257
 - No longer based on bitmap-populate job (no test 287)
 - Moved super() call to the beginning of test 040's callback
 - Added docstrings and type annotations
