test(e2e): a live end-to-end suite, Dynamips as the first scenario
Live e2e verification moves into the repository instead of being rewritten
as a throwaway script every time: tests/e2e/ carries a shared harness (REST
client, isolated-instance lifecycle, a deliberately dumb IOS console
driver, host-side kernel inspection: bridge membership, tap admin state,
tc qdiscs) and each node type adds only its scenario module. The e2e marker
plus 'addopts = -m "not e2e"' keeps these privileged, image-dependent
tests out of normal runs; they are opt-in: pytest -m e2e tests/e2e -s.

The harness targets an existing server via GNS3_E2E_URL or starts an
isolated instance (own config dir — DB and paths follow it — on a free
port) and deletes its project afterwards (GNS3_E2E_KEEP=1 keeps it on
failure).

The first scenario drives two real c7200 routers on a real IOS image
through the REST API and the consoles: the kernel link is created while the
routers are stopped (deferred wiring), the per-link kernel bridge enslaves
exactly the two anchors, real ICMP crosses it, delay 100 shows netem on
both anchors and grows the RTT (~200 ms), suspend kills the traffic on an
admin-down anchor, capture writes a pcap of ICMP records, a serial link
between the same routers stays on the relay and still pings, delete/
re-create and stop/start leave the wiring consistent, and deleting the
project removes every anchor and bridge. A negative control runs the same
topology on an isolated relay-configured instance (no per-link bridge,
nothing enslaved, still pings).

"""
Shared harness for live end-to-end tests (pytest marker ``e2e``).
These tests drive a **real** gns3-server process against real uBridge, real
kernel interfaces and real emulator binaries — things a unit-test run cannot
provide (privileges, images, a live kernel). They exist to verify what mocks
cannot: that kernel bridges actually enslave anchors, that tc impairments
actually shape traffic, that a datapath actually forwards. Run them with::
pytest -m e2e tests/e2e -s
The harness targets an **already running server** when ``GNS3_E2E_URL`` is
set (``GNS3_E2E_USER`` / ``GNS3_E2E_PASSWORD`` default to admin/admin), and
otherwise starts an **isolated instance** — its own config dir, controller
DB, project paths and free port, all under a temporary directory that is
removed on exit. Either way every test creates its own project and deletes
it again (``GNS3_E2E_KEEP=1`` keeps the project for inspection).
Environment knobs:
* ``GNS3_E2E_URL`` — target server, e.g. ``http://127.0.0.1:3080/v3``;
when unset, an isolated instance is started for each test.
* ``GNS3_E2E_USER`` / ``GNS3_E2E_PASSWORD`` — credentials for the target.
* ``GNS3_E2E_IMAGES`` — images directory the isolated instance uses
(default ``~/GNS3/images``); also where the dynamips test finds its image.
* ``GNS3_E2E_KEEP=1`` — keep the project (and the isolated instance) when a
test fails, and print their ids, for inspection.
