Refactored to use the 'unittest' module (test conditions in code, rather
than verifying text output), use pre-generated repository files, and
discontinue use of the old repository tools. -vladimir.v.diaz

<Purpose>
Simulate an arbitrary package attack, where an updater client attempts to
download a malicious file. TUF and non-TUF client scenarios are tested.
There is no difference between 'updates' and 'target' files.
