    Fix exception re-raising in Python Luxi clients · 98dfcaff

     (present in 2.5 since the 2.5 beta 3) did consistency
    fixes across the code-base. Unfortunately this was done without enough
    checks on the actual meaning of one of the fixes, which means error
    re-raising in lib/errors.py is broken.
    
    The problem is that:
    
      raise cls, args
    
    is different than:
    
      raise cls(args)
    
    And our unit-tests didn't catch this (this patch updates the tests).
    
    This breakage is usually trivial, like wrong error messages:
    
      $ gnt-instance remove no-such-instance
      Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
      ("Instance 'no-such-instance' not known", 'unknown_entity')
    
    versus:
    
      $ gnt-instance remove no-such-instance
      Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
      error type: unknown_entity, error details:
      Instance 'no-such-instance' not known
    
    or:
    
      $ gnt-instance add … no-such-instance
      Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
      ('The given name (no-such-instance) does not resolve: Name or service not known', 'resolver_error')
    
    versus:
    
      $ gnt-instance add … no-such-instance
      Failure: prerequisites not met for this operation:
      error type: resolver_error, error details:
      The given name (no-such-instance) does not resolve: Name or service not known
    
    But in some cases where we rely on a certain data representation
    (e.g. HooksAbort), this actually breaks because we try to iterate over
    the wrong type:
    
      File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/ganeti/cli.py", line 1907, in FormatError
         for node, script, out in err.args[0]:
      ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack
