The Sun4uMachine class inherit from LinuxKernelTest to effectively only use
the KERNEL_COMMON_COMMAND_LINE attribute. This change remove that unneeded
dependency, making Sun4uMachine self-content.

I took the occasion to delint the code: the unused os import was
removed, imports were reordered, and the module has a docstring now.

It is odd because the test boots a Linux kernel...

Once you added ConsoleMixIn, LinuxKernelTest is left with
2 methods related to archive extraction. Not particularly
specific to Linux kernel. Beside, shouldn't these methods
be provided by Avocado directly, by avocado.utils.archive
and avocado.utils.software_manager.backends?

Indeed, it makes a lot of sense to have those two methods inside the
Avocado utilities. I opened an issue on the Avocado side to track
that: https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/4610.

Beraldo reminded me there is already an issue to handle this:
https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado/issues/3549.
