At test "tear down", ``avocado_qemu.Test`` handles all the QEMUMachines

The ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` base test class
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` is further specialization of the
``avocado_qemu.Test`` class, so it contains all the characteristics of
the later plus some extra features.
First of all, this base class is intended for tests that need to
interact with a fully booted and operational Linux guest. At this
time, it uses a Fedora 31 guest image. The most basic example looks
like this:
.. code::
from avocado_qemu import LinuxTest
class SomeTest(LinuxTest):
def test(self):
self.launch_and_wait()
self.ssh_command('some_command_to_be_run_in_the_guest')
Please refer to tests that use ``avocado_qemu.LinuxTest`` under
``tests/acceptance`` for more examples.
