add helpers/smtar and use to automatically determine compression for tar

tar's magic handling of compression only works if the input is a local
file. This puts a small buffer in the middle and determines the format
and then passes the right flag explicitly.

A collection of fixes and extensions to vmtests

- rework configuration and checks of the complex vmtest "allindata"
- added new regex based file content verification
- added testcase class variable "extra_kern_args" to be able to
  influence the kernel parameters of the installed system
- fix the handling of KEEP_VMTEST_DATA
- fix an issue with -curses on the backlevel qemu in trusty
  by passing '-vga std' to avoid getting cirrus card and framebuffer.
- enhancing README-vmtest.txt with my lessons learned
- provide an option to set the name parameter at mdadm create
- check for vnc port collisions and automatically assign alternatives

fix pep8 on wily

wily versions of pep8 (1.6.2) complains about
  W503 line break before binary operator
But tox versions (1.5.7) do not. That causes package build break.
I'm not sure what the long term solution here should be.

One option would be to pin them in requirements to a single version.
