Bug Description

Due to a big amount of Linuxes available on planet Earth it is critical to help people save time on manual things that can be automated. That means creating scripts that automate backport testing process. Like:

1. create VM / LXD container for specified OS
2. create a list of packages to install
3. find the location to install those packages
4. install them
5. find the commands that need to be run for each package
6. check that the output and status code for each package is correct
7. commit new command line tests for packages into repository for future use

Command can leave text log and (optionally) video log and/or screenshots for results and errors, then upload the result to the main machine.
