ssh-generator and ssh-proxy are great features, it is very handy to be
able to do:
ssh vsock/1
But, because of the '/' used as a separator, scp and rsync don't
interpret 'vsock/<CID>' as a hostname, e.g.
$ scp /etc/machine-id vsock/2222:.
cp: cannot create regular file 'vsock/2222:.': No such file or directory
$ rsync /etc/machine-id vsock/2222:.
rsync: [Receiver] change_dir#3 "(...)/vsock" failed: No such file or directory (2)
rsync error: errors selecting input/output files, dirs (code 3) at main.c(829) [Receiver=3.4.1]
An alternative is to use ',' as separator, e.g.
$ scp /etc/machine-id vsock,2222:.
This is what is being suggested here. The names with '/' are kept not to
break anything here.
Others are possible: '%', '=', '#', '@', ':', etc. As mentioned in
commit 0abd510f7f ("ssh-proxy: add ssh ProxyCommand tool that can
connect to AF_UNIX + AF_VSOCK sockets"), it is better to avoid ':' as it
is already taken by SSH itself when doing sftp, and "@" is already taken
for separating the user name. '#' will cause some issues with some
shells like ZSH when quotes are not used.
Having these named differently than the test itself mostly creates
unecessary confusion and makes writing logic against the tests harder
so let's rename the testsuite-xx units and scripts to just use the
test name itself.
