There are currently 700+ permutations (800+ if Mike's vrf patch is only
fcnal-test). That's why the script takes a `-t TEST` argument - to only
run a subset.

nettest now has the capability for 1 command to run both client and
server in different namespaces. I have a branch that did the conversion
of fcnal-test.sh; validating the output to ensure no degradation in test
results (not just pass / fail but tests "fail" (negative tests) for the
right reason) took more time than I had. In the end it did not shorten
the test time by any significant margin so lost the motivation to wade
through the output on the before and after.
