Ian Wienand b85de3cd9e Add state object, rename "results", add unit tests
A couple of things going on, but I think it makes sense to do them
atomically.

The NodeBase.create() argument "results" is the global state
dictionary that will be saved to "state.json", and re-loaded in later
phases and passed to them as the argument "state".  So for
consistency, call this argument "state" (this fits with the change out
to start building the state dictionary earlier in the
PluginBase.__init__() calls).

Since the "state" is a pretty important part of how everything works,
move it into a separate object.  This is treated as essentially a
singleton.  It bundles it nicely together for some added
documentation [1].

We move instantiation of this object out of the generic
BlockDevice.__init__() call and into the actual cmd_* drivers.  This
is because there's two distinct instantiation operations -- creating a
new state (during cmd_create) and loading an existing state (other
cmd_*).  This is also safer -- since we know the cmd_* arguments are
looking for an existing state.json, we will fail if it somehow goes
missing.

To more fully unit test this, some testing plugins and new
entry-points are added.  These add known state values which we check
for.  These should be a good basis for further tests.

[1] as noted, we could probably do some fun things in the future like
make this implement a dictionary and have some saftey features like
r/o keys.
