qa/vstart_runner: don't use os.kill for passing SIGKILL

vstart_runner.py is written assuming that it can run commands with
superuser privileges whenever possible and vstart_runner.py is meant to
be executed without sudo.

So, it's better kill a process using "sudo kill -9 <PID>", instead of
using os.kill() because os.kill() can't kill process launched with
superuser privileges.
