Vladimir Diaz b03deee874 Modify the way slow retrieval errors are raised and detected.
Potential slow retrieval errors are raised for safe downloads (strict check on file size) and not for unsafe (a file size less than an upper limit).  Slow retrieval errors should always be prevented

Konstantin Andrianov.
<Started>
February 22, 2012.
March 21, 2014.
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.
