Unicon

core * fix StateTransition do_transitions to return correct output * fix dialogs with multi thread to send command to correct connection * inherit base Connection from Lockable and add RLock for BaseService * improve performance by enhancing pty_backend to support different modes in match_buffer. By default, match_mode_detect is enabled. Detect rules are as below:
- search whole buffer with re.DOTALL if:
  - pattern contains any of: \r, \n
  - pattern equals to any of: .*, ^.*$, .*$, ^.*, .+, ^.+$, .+$, ^.+
- Else if pattern ends with $, will only match last line
- In other situations, search whole buffer with re.DOTALL
- improve performance by compiling regex patterns first in dialog_processor
- improve performance by removing re.search again in truncate_trailing_prompt
- add connection “host” in SSHTunnel and topology adapter
added credential support
- When pyATS integration is used,
  - If a default credential is supplied, then a credential of any other name is looked up explicitly and is not found, the default credential is used instead.
  - credentials supplied to the connection contain any credentials defined at the device and testbed levels as well.
- If one or more credentials are supplied:
  - The tacacs and passwords pyATS testbed keys are ignored.
  - Use of any of the following unicon.Unicon.Connection arguments cause a deprecation warning to be raised :
    - username
    - password
    - enable_password
    - tacacs_password
    - line_password
  - The following credential names are expected to be defined explicitly:
    - enable : This credential defines the password to be sent when bringing routing devices to their enable mode.
    - sudo : The fsos/ftd plugin expects this credential to contain the sudo password.
    - ssh : When setting up an sshtunnel against a server specified in a pyATS testbed servers block, this credential must be defined against that server block.
  - The login_creds argument (specified either in pyATS connection block or as a unicon.Unicon.Connection parameter), now controls the order credentials are applied when username/password prompts are received while connecting to the device.
  - The prompts/login and prompts/password parameters are now expected to be explicitly set in the pyATS connection block or as unicon.Unicon.Connection parameters.
  - The switchover service now accepts a switchover_creds parameter that allows users to define what credentials to use should a username or password prompt occur during switchover.
  - The reload service now accepts a reload_creds parameter that allows users to define what credentials to use should a username or password prompt occur during reload.
- The execute service no longer responds to username/password requests, users are expected to pass in their own dialog if this kind of handling is required.
generic plugin
- add flatten_splitlines_command method in generic utils to flatten commands
- add get_handle method in BaseService for all services to reuse
- add bulk argument for Configure service to send commands in one sendline
- refactor generic Configure service, and now HaConfigureService inherits from Configure
- fix several bugs in BaseService and generic HaExecService
iosxr plugin
- fix potential bugs in iosxr execute and configure related services
- add HaAdminExecute and HaAdminConfigure services for iosxr
- fix asr9k plugin services admin_execute, admin_configure and admin_bash_console on 64-bit asr9k
- added dual RP support to iosxr/spitfire plugin.
junos plugin
- fix junos plugin configure service
nxos plugin
- added VDC related robot commands.
asa plugin
- added warning to ASA plugin patterns.
ios plugin
