iotests: rewrite check into python

Just use classes introduced in previous three commits. Behavior
difference is described in these three commits.

Drop group file, as it becomes unused.

Drop common.env: now check is in python, and for tests we use same
python interpreter that runs the check itself. Use build environment
PYTHON in check-block instead, to keep "make check" use the same
python.

Checking for virtio-blk moved to iotests.py, as it actually iotests.py
dependency. Actually not all python iotests depend on it, so in future
it may be refactored to checked only when really needed.

-# QA groups control file
-# Defines test groups
-#
-# Some notes about the groups:
-#
-# - do not start group names with a digit
-#
-# - quick : Tests in this group should finish within some few seconds.
-#
-# - img : Tests in this group can be used to excercise the qemu-img tool.
-#
-# - auto : Tests in this group are used during "make check" and should be
-#   runnable in any case. That means they should run with every QEMU binary
-#   (also non-x86), with every QEMU configuration (i.e. must not fail if
-#   an optional feature is not compiled in - but reporting a "skip" is ok),
-#   work at least with the qcow2 file format, work with all kind of host
-#   filesystems and users (e.g. "nobody" or "root") and must not take too
-#   much memory and disk space (since CI pipelines tend to fail otherwise).
