best_effort. When given, do not set uselinkdelay in the CM. This is a
first commit, this will change slightly in subsequent commit.

1. Add adb_target and rwclone support.

2. Name the link/node variables by the user client_id with dashes
   converted to underscore, and prefix with node_/link_ if the user name
   does not already start with node/link.

3. Add "permissive" mode to ignore profile_parameters, data_set, and the
   routable_control_ip attribute so that we can test more profiles.

4. Add options to run just the geni-lib based profiles through
   regression testing.

1. Support for Tour steps. See associated change in geni-lib.

2. Add regression testing of the Tour. I had left that out, now we are
   doing that.

3. Add option to rspec2genilib to not add the stub Tour description,
   since that makes regression testing difficult.

consistent ordering from one run to the next, so that we can apply
simple diffing in rtecheck.

Redo the rspectogenilib converter with the goal of supporting both
translation *and* regression testing. A new library is responsible for
taking the output of libXML and creating a data structure representing
the rspec. While this is being done, we look for any constructs or
attributes we cannot handle with geni-lib and report that as an error;
we are not going to convert an rspec unless we can do it correctly. and
completely.

Regression testing is done with another part of this library, that knows
how to compare each element of two rspecs. Basically start at the root
and compare all the way down, failing if the two "parses" of the XML are
not equal at any level.

rspectogenilib now has an option that does regression testing by running
the new geni-lib and comparing the resulting rspec against the original.

On the UI side, there is a new button on existing rspec based
profiles (currently only for admin and studs) called "Convert to
geni-lib" that runs the converter to convert the profile to geni-lib.
The user does not have to accept the new script of course.

However, a converted profile is marked in the database, and the user can
still use Jacks on it, we just run rspectogenilib geni-lib again on the
new rspec. If the user edits the geni-lib, we switch back to normal
geni-lib (clear the flag) when the new version is saved, and Jacks is
once again read-only. This is explained in the UI, and is one of the
things people need to give comment on.

There is also a mode on the Create Profile page for converting new rspec
based profiles to geni-lib, but that is fully turned off for now, we can
get to that later.
