[Bug 1431421] Re: adt-run could export the SUDO_ASKPASS variable to the testbed

The whole sudo handling could probably be generalized to all virt
runners at some point, but for now this works with the ssh runner. Tests
can now just do "sudo -A". But note that it's not always a given that
sudo is available, so either test [ -n $SUDO_ASKPASS ] or be prepared
that sudo -A fails, and skip tests accordingly.

Title:
  adt-run could export the SUDO_ASKPASS variable to the testbed

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  It would be good to store the location of the SUDO_ASKPASS script on
  the testbed, so that specific commands can be run as root even though
  the rest of the test is running as the user.
