regressions: Don't print misleading 'Expect error ...' lines.

Some tests in the regressions directory deliberately print
error messages.  As long as they still PASS, this is OK.

However these tests also printed some misleading messages
about what error to expect.  Since error messages were slightly
different across distros, these messages were not accurate.

Therefore remove these messages, and replace with a general
message before all tests telling users not to worry about
errors from the tests as long as the tests don't fail.

Revert "add_drive_ro adds readonly=on option if available." (RHBZ#617200).

Adding the readonly=on option is not so clever.  This causes
qemu to present the disk as read-only to the guest.  (The
expected behaviour of snapshots=on,readonly=on was that it
would open the disk O_RDONLY but present a writable disk to
the guest).

Since the guest sees a read-only disk, we are unable to do any
recovery if a filesystem on the disk is inconsistent.  This basically
prevents most accesses to live disk images.

What we really want is a qemu option which presents a writable
disk to the guest, but only opens the disk on the host side with
O_RDONLY, to alleviate the udev bug RHBZ#571714.

provisos about this method in the manual page entry.  Callers
should *not* normally use this method.

this to a hashref containing currently the following field:

If this field is not present, it means that the handle has been
explicitly closed.  This avoids double-freeing the handle.

The user may add their own fields to this hash in order to store
per-handle data.  However any fields whose names begin with
an underscore are reserved for use by the Perl bindings.

We could fix this so that the human-readable numbers get written

This is hard to solve cleanly without adding another file API.

However this restricts file to regular files, unless called explicitly

string like "directory".

There is a small semantic change for symbolic links.  Previously

filesystems.  Previously a filesystem might have been set up so
