Refactor jumpavg to be more readable and usable
This is the python3 change, the python2 is still used for testing bisect. + New version is 0.2.0 due to amount o API changes. + Jumpavg is now part of CSIT resource package tree. + Perpatch migrated to new jumpavg. - PAL NOT updated (the update moved to a different Change). Change-Id: I7d7a8bf8a411196c20c2a40a8c64478d6709bc07 Signed-off-by: Vratko Polak <vrpolak@cisco.com>
