2e26b4a474 ext: Remove sandbox module from testlib
The sandbox module is providing a sandbox environment for
a specific TestCase via the multiprocessing package.

This isolation/complexity is not strictly needed as testlib is already
forking a new process via subprocess. As it is now, a TestRunner will
generate:

TestRunner -> multiprocessing.Process -> subprocess.Popen
(2 generated procs)

With this patch we are removing the intermediate layer

TestRunner -> subprocess.Popen
(1 generated proc)
