tests: handle backspace-newline pairs in test input files
all the test argv files were line wrapped so that the args
were less than 80 characters.
The way the line wrapping was done turns out to be quite
undesirable, because it often leaves multiple parameters
on the same line. If we later need to add or remove
individual parameters, then it leaves us having to redo
line wrapping.
This commit changes the line wrapping so that every
single "-param value" is one its own new line. If the
"value" is still too long, then we break on ',' or ':'
or ' ' as needed.
This means that when we come to add / remove parameters
from the test files line, the patch diffs will only
ever show a single line added/removed which will greatly
simplify review work.

With my recent work on the test, both time() and localtime() are used.
While mocking the former one, we get predictable result for UTC. But
since the latter function uses timezone to get local time, the result of
localtime() is not so predictive. Therefore, we must set the TZ variable
at the beginning of the test. To be able to catch some things that work
just by a blind chance, I'm choosing a virtual timezone that (hopefully)
no libvirt developer resides in.
When trying to introduce a test for previous patch, I've
noticed that the command line is constructed using current
time. This won't work in our test suite (unless you guys
wants to set a specific time prior to each test run :) ).
Therefore we need to mock calls to time(2) to return the
same value every time it's called.
