[PATCH v2 1/4] tests/docker: improve handling of docker probes

["Daniel P. Berrangé" <berrange@redhat.com>]

The docker.py script has logic to guess the container command and
detects one of

  * docker
  * sudo -n docker
  * podman

but the "docker.py probe" command then throws away the detected argv
and prints a slightly different argv based solely on the detected
argv[0]. The result is that 'probe' will print

  * docker
  * sudo docker
  * podman

which means that if sudo was detected & the result of 'probe' were
used directly, it would end up prompting for password interaction
every time.

The 'configure' script, however, runs 'probe' and then throws away
the printed argv again, reporting only 'podman' or 'docker', which
is used to set the $(RUNC) variable for tests/docker/Makefile.include
which is in turn used to pass --engine to docker.py. So the docker.py
command will re-detect the need for 'sudo -n' and use it correctly

The problem with this is that some commands in Makefile.include do
not call docker.py at all, they invoke $(RUNC) directly. Since
configure threw away the 'sudo' command prefix Makefile.in won't
be adding either 'sudo' or 'sudo -n', it'll just run plain 'docker'
which is wrong.

This commit sanitizes things so that the 'docker.py probe' prints
out the exact detected ARGV, and configure fully preserves this
ARGV when setting $(RUNC). Since "$(RUNC)" is no longer just a bare
engine name, however, we must now also set the $(CONTAINER_ENGINE)
variable for Makefile.include so it can pass something sane to
the --engine arg for docker.py
