Internally, WA expects extension names to be valid Python identifiers.
When this is not the case, conversion takes place when loading
configuration for the extension (e.g. "trace-cmd" gets converted to
"trace_cmd").
The conversion is intended to be transparent to the user, so
configuration stores values as they are provided by the user, however it
needs to perform the conversion internally, e.g. when querying
ExtensionLoader. This conversion was missing when performing a lookup of
one of the internal structures, which was causing earlier-collected
settings to not be propagated into the final config.
The param documentation states that for a boolean, "kind" should be
"as_bool" from wlauto.utils.misc, but there is no "as_bool". Currently,
workload automation automatically converts native python types like bool
and int to workload automation specific ones. Remove this bit from the
documentation as it's not true any more.

The error message will now contain the offending extension (either
package name or full path to extension file) if a Python error occurs
when ExtensionLoader attempts to load it.
- connect() to device before issuing the initial reboot, as soft reset
requires a device connection.
- boot() has been implemented to wait properly for the device to reboot
after reset.
- port now defaults to 22 rather than being left unset, as need
something to connect to when polling for device after reboot.
- Only use -P option for scp when port is *not* 22; as that option
appears to cause intermittent issues with default scp on Ubuntu 12.04
