Description

In CFEgnine 3.6, the functions execresult and returnszero are executed at the start of the runs if not guarded by a class, and their result cached for the whole execution
This brings havoc on our tests as we do rely a lot on this to check the correct behaviour of promises (see https://dev.cfengine.com/issues/6050 )

We cannot simply add 

cache_system_functions => "false"

in the body common control as this is not compatible with CFEngine 3.5

We so need to rewrite most test to have execresult and returnszero guarded by classes
