This commit adds error handling to TaskStatusService. When the
connection is lost, it will try to establish a new connection. If the
connection is not possible to renew, the task will send warning message
about new status and remove TaskStatusService from available services.

When creating Runnables from recipes, the given configuration will get
discarded when "filtering" the configuration used.

The correct approach is to keep the given configuration, and suplement
it with the other needed (used) configuration.

This creates a Dependency class to make dependencies hashable. Thanks to this
change, we can easily find duplicates and remove them. This change is really
necessary for Job dependencies, where the duplicates can be easily created by
adding the same dependency to a test and job.

The store_logging_stream_external test installs external package
matplotlib and checks with the package properly logs to the avocado
directories. Unfortunately, this test used hardcoded line number of
matplotlib. Because of this, the test started failing when the line was
changed. This commit fixes this test by using regex instead of hardcoded
string. After this change, the test should be protected against external
changes in matplotlib package.

On Python 3.12.2 and later the message given when no tests are run
was reverted to the pre-3.12.1 era. Sigh.

Let's adapt the nrunner selftest to take that into consideration.

The container image used in CI for the static checks now has black
installed from pip.  This means that the executable "black" may not be
always accessible, but using "python3 -m" as an entrypoint is.

This is a partial backport of 77ca585.

Fedora 38 is the development image used on CI, and one that is popular
for Avocado development at this time.  Let's match the version of
psutil available on the distro with the development requirement.

This avoid the atempt to compile a custom version of psutil.

There's value in making the zstd probe function public (which was
previously not perceived).  This function can be used to skip/cancel
tests when a suitable zstd is not found.
