The perhaps most important issue this PR addresses is rebench-denoise being used with sudo but root not having access to any of the installed packages and dependencies.

To avoid the issue in the first place, we split the denoise implementation and move all use of packages into the part that's only used from rebench.
We also set PYTHONPATH so that denoise finds itself.

More minor improvements include:

  • more robust to missing tools like cset, and giving more useful error
  • fix the error reporting for denoise to actually render the nice overview of what didn't work

This resolves #251.

- give more useful errors when tools are not available and how to work around it
- don’t error when cset not available

- preserve PYTHONPATH across sudo for denoise
- adapt tests to handle the PYTHONPATH that’s now set

The main goal here is to have denoise require the fewest possible dependencies when running under root, which avoids issues with PYTHONPATH, dependencies being installed by the user, and generally to minimize the capabilities of denoise.

- denoise_client now provides the interface for rebench to access denoise
- minor refactorings to avoid circular dependencies
- move getting number of cores to denoise_client to avoid dependency on cpuinfo inside root
- cache number of cpu cores to avoid requesting them repeatedly which is very expensive

- remember when we didn’t find the path

Since there are user-visible changes around the denoise interface and behavior, I am bumping the version.
