The test "should fail substituting values in a volume subpath with absolute path" creates a pod
with a variable expansion path which is set as an absolute path. However "/tmp" is not an absolute
on Windows, it has to be prefixed with the drive letter (C:\tmp). But C:\tmp does not typically
exist on Windows nodes, so we use C:\Users instead.
Some of the tests are negative test cases which are supposed to ensure that those
invalid usecases are handled properly.
However, some of the tests are false positives, they can pass due to various reasons.
One such example is: "should fail substituting values in a volume subpath with absolute path".
This test can pass if:
- the Pod cannot start due to various reasons (e.g.: the container image cannot be pulled or does
not exist).
- the Pod ran to completion, even though the container was not supposed to start in the first place.
The test "should not change the subpath mount on a container restart if the environment variable changes"
creates a pod with the liveness probe: cat /volume_mount/test.log. The test then
deletes that file, which causes the probe to fail and the container to be restarted.
After which it recreates the file by exec-ing into the pod, but there is a chance
that the container was not created yet, or it did not start yet.
This commit adds a few retries to the exec command.
Moving pod related functions from e2e/framework/pv_util.go to
e2e/framework/pod in order to allow refactoring of pv_util.go into its
own package.

This is part of the transition to using framework/log instead
of the Logf inside the framework package. This will help with
import size/cycles when importing the framework or subpackages.
