James Prestwood 7d94aee5b6 test-runner: inherit Popen by Process class
The Procss class was doing quite a bit of what Popen already does like
storing the return code and process arguments. In addition the Process
class ended up storing a Popen object which was frequently accessed.

For both simplicity and memory savings have Process inherit Popen and
add the additional functionality test-runner needs like stdout
processing to output files and the console.

To do this Popen.wait() needed to be overridden to to prevent blocking
as well as wait for the HUP signal so we are sure all the process
output was written. kill() was also overritten to perform cleanup.

The most intrusive change was removing wait as a kwarg, and instead
requiring the caller to call wait(). This doesn't change much in
terms of complexity to the caller, but simplifies the __init__
routine of Process.

Some convenient improvements:
 - Separate multiple process instance output (Terminate: <args> will
   be written to outfiles each time a process dies.)
 - Append to outfile if the same process is started again
 - Wait for HUP before returning from wait(). This allows any remaining
   output to be written without the need to manually call process_io.
 - Store ctx as a class variable so callers don't need to pass it in
   (e.g. when using Process directly rather than start_process)
