The cls object is part of the unittest framework and its lifespan
is out of test-runner's control. Setting objects into the cls
object sometimes keeps those objects around longer than desired.
Its best to unset anything set in cls when the test is tore down.
The tests basically remained the same with a few minor changes.
The wiphy_map and in turn hostapd_map are no longer used. This
was already partially converted a long time ago when the 'config'
parameter was added to HostapdCLI. This patch fully converts all
autotests to use 'config' rather than looking up by interface.
Some test scripts were named 'test.py' which was fine before but
the new rewrite actually loads each python test as a module. The
name 'test' is too ambiguous and causes issues due to a native
python module with the same name. All of these files were
renamed to 'connection_test.py'.
Previously, the WPS tests have shared a single instance of iwd
among themselves. This approach didn’t allow to identify which
tests have passed and which failed. The new solution makes WPS
tests independent from each other by creating a new instance
of iwd for each one of them.
