The Topology Manager e2e tests wants to run on real multi-NUMA system
and want to consume real devices supported by device plugins; SRIOV
devices happen to be the most commonly available of such devices.
CI machines aren't multi NUMA nor expose SRIOV devices, so the biggest portion
of the tests will just skip, and we need to keep it like this until we
figure out how to enable these features.
However, some organizations can and want to run the testsuite on bare metal;
in this case, the current test will skip (not fail) with misconfigured
boxes, and this reports a misleading result. It will be much better to
fail if the test preconditions aren't met.
To satisfy both needs, we add an option, controlled by an environment
variable, to fail (not skip) if the machine on which the test run
doesn't meet the expectations (multi-NUMA, 4+ cores per NUMA cell,
expose SRIOV VFs).
We keep the old behaviour as default to keep being CI friendly.

The SRIOV device plugin can create different resources depending
on both the hardware present on the system and the configuration.
As long as we have at least one SRIOV device, the tests don't actually
care about which specific device is.
Previously, the test hardcoded the most common intel SRIOV device
identifier. This patch lifts the restriction and let the test
autodetect and use what's available.

This patch all the testing infra and utilities needed
to run e2e topology manager tests. This include setup
a guaranteed pod which needs some devices.
The simplest real device available for the purpose
are the SRIOV devices, hence we use them.
This patch pulls the SRIOV device plugin from
the official, yet external, repository.
We do it as close as possible for the nvidia GPU plugin.
This patch also performs minor refactoring for some
test framework utilities, needed to support the new
e2e tests.
Finally, we add an empty e2e topology manager test,
to be completed by the next patch.
