test-driver.py: delete VM state directory after test run
Keeping the VM state test across several run sometimes lead to subtle and hard to spot errors in practice. We delete the VM state which contains (among other things) the qcow volume. We also introduce a -K (--keep-vm-state) flag making VM state to persist after the test run. This flag makes test-driver.py to match its previous behaviour.
