Tests that followed one ending in False were reported as failed. UTScapy
uses the last expression value as the result, and a successful assert
does not replace it. autorun_commands did not delete builtins._ at the
start of a test, so the previous False stayed in place.
The following uts file demonstrates the problem:
% False result carries over
+ Carry over
= one
False
= two
assert True
`two` raises nothing and does not set a new value, but it was reported
as failed.
The purpose of the scapy_session code was unclear. The history showed
that it belonged to session save/load, removed in 13621d1 ("Sessions
removed"), and that this code had been left behind. Searching the rest
of the tree for those leftovers by hand looked like more work than it
was worth, and a good fit for AI, so I asked it to find and remove
them as well.
