    Run the keywords in the keyword string.

    Description of arguments:
    lib_file_path   The path to a library or resource needed to run the
                    keywords.  This may contain a colon-delimited list of
                    library/resource paths.
    keyword_string  The keyword string to be run by this function.  If this
                    keyword string contains " ; " anywhere, it will be taken to
                    be multiple keyword strings.  Each keyword may also include
                    a variable assignment.  Example:
                    ${my_var}=  My Keyword
    quiet           If this parameter is set to "1", this program will print
                    only essential information, i.e. it will not echo
                    parameters, echo commands, print the total run time, etc.
    test_mode       This means that this program should go through all the
                    motions but not actually do anything substantial.

    # NOTE: During code review the following question was raised: Why support
    # 1) variable assignments 2) multiple keywords?  Couldn't a user simply
    # call this program twice to get what they need.  If necessary, the user
    # could take the output of the first call and specify it as a literal on
    # the second call.
    #
    # However, this approach would not work in all cases.  The following case
    # would be such an example:
    # Let's say the first keyword string is as follows:
    # Create Dictionary  foo=bar
    # You wish to take the output of that call and specify it as a literal
    # value when running the following:
    # Want Dictionary  parm=<literal dictionary specification>
    # The problem is that there is no way to specify a dictionary as a
    # literal in Robot Framework.
    # By having this program support variable assignments and multiple
    # keywords, the user can invoke it with the following keyword string.
    # ${my_dict}=  Create Dictionary  foo=bar ; Want Dictionary  ${my_dict}

    # The user can pass multiple lib/resource paths by separating them with a
    # colon.
