vppctl,cli: Improve non-interactive vppctl (VPP-944)
Short version: Make vppctl behave as expected when run from scripts, or without a controlling terminal, and especially when using it with VPP commands on its command line ("non-interactively"). In particular, prevent the welcome banner and VPP CLI prompt from being sent by VPP when being used in these ways. vppctl ------ - Improve vppctl's detection of non-interactive sessions. - Pass non-interactiveness in the terminal type telnet option as a value distinct from "dumb" (which means non-ANSI capable.) - Make tty setup handling more robust. - Only send non-interactive command once we've sent the terminal type, to ensure correct event sequence; we need the VPP cli session to be in line-by-line mode. - Ignore stdin when it looks something like /dev/null. - Skip NUL bytes received from VPP. VPP CLI ------- - Detect "non-interactive" terminal types and set session parameters accordingly. - Add an "interactive" flag that controls whether the welcome banner and CLI prompt are sent. - Detect if telnet options processing switched us into line mode and act accordingly for the rest of the current input buffer. This was causing the command string to be echoed by the CLI editor code. - For non-interactive sessions, send a NUL byte after the input buffer has been processed. This is because vppctl depends on seeing traffic before it will try to close the session; a command with no output would cause it to hang. NUL bytes are ignored by all decent terminals, but we have vppctl strip them out anyway. - Prevent certain commands from running in non-interactive sessions since they manipulate interactive-related features. - For interactive sessions, quench the prompt that prints on VPP shutdown. - Detect and handle socket errors in the CLI; sessions were leaking. - Pevent SIGPIPE from ever being raised; handle EPIPE instead. We don't need VPP to die just because a socket closed just before we try to write to it! - Add a command to dump a list of current CLI sessions; mostly this was to detect session leakage, but it may have some general utility.
