Add attachable simulator to PaftManager tests with sqlite db assertions (#898)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #898

This diff:
* exposes paft_manager.py's main so we can attach the simulator to it
* Allows test_paft_manager.py to write log assertions using sqlite db
* Add `is_simulator_active()` so we can decide whether to real/sim sleep in the actor
