dts: unify class inheritance from object

There are two ways we specify that a class inherits from object -
implicitly and explicitly. There's no need to explicitly specify that a
class inherits from object and is in fact mostly a remnant from Python2.
Leaving it implicit is the standard in Python3 and offers a small bonus
in cases where something would assign something else to the builtin
object variable.

dts: adjust code for doc generation

The standard Python tool for generating API documentation, Sphinx,
imports modules one-by-one when generating the documentation. This
requires code changes:
* properly guarding argument parsing in the if __name__ == '__main__'
block,
* the logger used by DTS runner underwent the same treatment so that it
doesn't create log files outside of a DTS run,
* however, DTS uses the arguments to construct an object holding global
variables. The defaults for the global variables needed to be moved
from argument parsing elsewhere,
* importing the remote_session module from framework resulted in
circular imports because of one module trying to import another
module. This is fixed by reorganizing the code,
* some code reorganization was done because the resulting structure
makes more sense, improving documentation clarity.

The are some other changes which are documentation related:
* added missing type annotation so they appear in the generated docs,
* reordered arguments in some methods,
* removed superfluous arguments and attributes,
* change private functions/methods/attributes to private and vice-versa.

The above all appear in the generated documentation and the with them,
the documentation is improved.
