More complex tests often have to spawn a background process,
like a server which will respond to requests or tcpdump.
Add support for creating such processes using the with keyword:
with bkg("my-daemon", ..):
# my-daemon is alive in this block
My initial thought was to add this support to cmd() directly
but it runs the command in the constructor, so by the time
we __enter__ it's too late to make sure we used "background=True".
Second useful helper transplanted from net_helper.sh is
wait_port_listen().
The test itself uses socat, which insists on v6 addresses
being wrapped in [], it's not the only command which requires
this format, so add the wrapped address to env. The hope
is to save test code from checking if address is v6.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
