allowing debug ssh access to jenkins slaves for developers

Hi,

Recently I've been approached by several developers who are working on enabling
vdsm functional tests on jenkins.ovirt.org, and they need access to the slaves running those tests,
otherwise its almost impossible to debug and fix those tests (errors doesn't reproduce on their test env).

What i propose is giving "power user" access to jenkins slaves, similar to what we do on jenkins master,
maybe at 1st w/o sudo access, and later on adding specific commands to sudo if it's needed.

procedure should be documented in ovirt.org and request should be sent to infra at ovirt.org, 
explaining the need to access the slaves + public key of the requester.

I think it's important to allow this access if we want our infra to scale, having more
people that can fix and solve problems on their specific jobs/projects.

thoughts/suggestions?

Eyal.
