Title:
  QEMU processes started by Acceptance Tests are left running

Status in QEMU:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Every now and then, QEMU processes started by the Acceptance Tests
  (thus by Avocado) will be left running.

  From Avocado's perspective, when everything "goes well" and a test
  reaches completion, there's no attempt to terminate any processes it
  indirectly started.  Some frameworks and tests built on top of
  Avocado, for instance Avocado-VT, will keep processes running between
  various tests.

  When a job (and consequently a test) is manually interrupted, then
  Avocado tries to terminate the entire process tree.

  It may be possible to improve the situation in which, at the very least, the 
user is:
   * notified of left over processes
   * have a configuration option that will attempt to kill all processes at the 
end of the test execution
