Simulated runs

There is an option to use an alternative ScriptRunner implementation. Instead of doing ssh connections it discards any input its given and gives back fake output.

It is controlled by setting the following environment variables REX_SIMULATE - setting to 1, yes or true enables the use of the fake runner REX_SIMULATE_PATH - full path to a file which should be given back as output by the runner, currently one line per runner's refresh REX_SIMULATE_FAIL_CHANCE - number from 0 to 100, each host has a REX_SIMULATE_FAIL_CHANCE of exiting with REX_SIMULATE_EXIT, useful for simulating random failures REX_SIMULATE_EXIT - see the previous

Because it doesn't really open the outgoing connections, it doesn't need hosts with valid IP addresses as targets.
