PV upgrade test
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR adds a PV upgrade test to the new upgrade test framework. Before, this test had to be done manually. Currently the upgrade test framework only works on the GCE environment, so I plan to add support for other providers later. In order to write the test, I had to modify and refactor some volume test util libraries. I reran the impacted tests to make sure they still passed.
**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes #
**Special notes for your reviewer**:
It's probably easier to review the two commits separately. I split it up into the refactor changes, and the upgrade test changes.
**Release note**:
NONE
