As we can't control which allocations are destroyed when downscaling a job, we decided
to use Nomad jobs as our runners. Thus for each runner we prewarm for an environment,
a corresponding job is created in Nomad. We create a default job that serves as a template
for the runners. Using this, already existing execution environments can easily be restored,
once Poseidon is restarted.
For unit tests, this mocks the runners Execute method with a
customizable function that operates on the request, streams and exit
channel to simulate a real execution.
End-to-end tests are moved to the tests/e2e_tests folder. The tests
folder allows us to have shared helper functions for all tests in a
separate package (tests) that is not included in the non-test build.
This also adds one second of delay before each end-to-end test case by
using the TestSetup method of suite. By slowing down test execution,
this gives Nomad time to create new allocations when a test requested a
runner. Another solution could be to increase the scale of the job to
have enough allocations for all end-to-end tests.

This enables executing commands in runners and forwarding input and
output between the runner and the websocket to the client.
