If the netns argument to the NetNS constructor is the path of an existing file, that is interpreted as the full namespace path, and not appended to netns.NETNS_RUN_DIR. This patch add a setns_from_path function to the netns module. This function simply opens the namespace, perform the setns syscall, and returns the file descriptor. In order to avoid code duplication the setns function now calls setns_from_path A test has been added to validate creating a NetNS object using the path of an existing namespace. Creating or deleting namespaces using a full path has not been implemented as a part of this patch.
