System check providers running (#619)

* Tests run_until must be guard-claused with cleanup routine

* System check for providers running

* Simplified tinyproxy object creation

* Generalized check_system for running metric providers by asking each one separately

* Disabling the broken test_check_system

* Restructured returncode checking in check_system
