Paramiko 1.13.0 checks data in the Channel and fails if
invalid UTF-8 characters are sent. The teuthology/misc.py
functions that piped cat output (get_file) and piped tar
output (pull_directory and pull_directory_tarball) formerly
did not work for Paramiko 1.13.0.
Code was changed to use SFTPClient to copy raw data. The
remote_mktemp and function was changed to be a method of the
remote object. Remote object methods to copy files and write
tar files were also added.
In misc.py, get_file() was changed to be a wrapper around the
remote object call. Pull_directory() and pull_directory_tarball
were changed to use the remote object methods as well.
The remote methods used to send the data makes use of the
SFTPClient interface in Paramiko.
The remote_mktemp function was also modified slightly to insure
that new-lines do not appear in temp file names.
