Fix DOS test case false pass and add Teardown

The test case 'Verify User Cannot Login After 5 Non-Logged In Sessions'
is designed to verify that a type of Denial-Of-Service attack is prevented.
Specifically, it verifies that the root user cannot log in if
5 other SSH sessions are running but login has not been authenticated.
However, the test case does not first verify that the attempted
login method would otherwise succeed. If the attempted login method
is faulty, then the test case will falsely report a pass, as I have seen.

To address this, I added a Setup that skips the test if the login
does not succeed.

I also added a Teardown method that terminates the processes and
sessions. This makes manual testing more convenient - I was
experiencing pop-up messages from the SSHLibrary connections
before they automatically timed out.
