What does this PR do?
The main purpose of this PR is to allow instantiating objects from classes declared in util modules to work with Master side modules, such as Runners, Outputters, etc, like it already possible to do in Minion modules.
Also, it introduces
utils_dirs
configuration option to add any directories as a source of utility modules without the need to follow a structure enforced byextension_modules
ormodule_dirs
.Previous Behavior
It was not possible to develop Master side module, which directly imports utils Python modules.
New Behavior
All configured utils directories will be added to the system paths, so util modules become importable.
Tests written?
No.
