1. Fix circular import error in LFRequest

2. add import re to lfcli_base
3. add debug output to l3_cxprofile, so it is how it used to be
4. add help options to regression_test so we can test how the help flags are working
5. Make test_ip_variable_time work better when it is imported directly by moving most of the logic to a function under IPVariableTime
6. Add init.py file to the LANforge directory and fix archiving in the to_pip.py script
