NRunner Plugin: Unoptmized execution of Tasks (extra serialization/deserialization)

1

At this time, the nrunner plugin runs a Task directly through its ``run()`` method. Besides the earlier point of not supporting other isolation models/execution environments (that means not using spawners),...

For instance: ``` 2021-05-19 16:59:53,707 testlogs L0101 INFO | tests/domain/test_transient.py:TransientDomain.test_convert_transient_to_persistent: ERROR ``` This line is test that has some error. What about converting this INFO to an ERROR? Makes sense?

This time there's an argument in favor of allowing [commas](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2021-04/msg01316.html)...

The `avocado.utils.datadrainer` module currently lacks functional tests, interacting with live data "producers". We should have a better test coverage that stresses the current implementation. A minimal coverage should include: 1....
