PV upgrade test

**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR adds a PV upgrade test to the new upgrade test framework.  Before, this test had to be done manually.  Currently the upgrade test framework only works on the GCE environment, so I plan to add support for other providers later.  In order to write the test, I had to modify and refactor some volume test util libraries.  I reran the impacted tests to make sure they still passed.

**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes #

**Special notes for your reviewer**:
It's probably easier to review the two commits separately.  I split it up into the refactor changes, and the upgrade test changes.

**Release note**:

NONE
