seash unit tests hang about seash HOT 2 CLOSED

What a fun little bug! ut_seash_subprocess fails to start the test nodemanager (as the nodemanager repo, and thus nmmain.py, is not listed in seash's dependencies). Thus, the keys that ut_seash_setup waits for are never advertised, and it waits indefinitely.

When the nodemanager is started correctly, the problem does not appear. I'm thus adding it to the dependencies lists. I'll also make ut_seash_setup raise an error if the nodemanager appears to have a problem on startup (i.e. it or the Python interpreter prints to stderr).

There is a bigger issue hidden in this as well: utf's funcion test_module doesn't expect the _subprocess scripts of modules to ever fail. Thus, the subprocess/setup scripts cannot keep utf from starting a test run by raising errors.

I've documented utf's problem with errors in _subprocess / _setup scripts in SeattleTestbed/utf#53.
