[trac3665] Updates per review comments

One of the large items was to rearrange the
lfc_controller test code to:
- not use .c_str()
- check the non-existance of the temporary files after processing
- remove any files after each subtest
- Use a_1 instead of A_1 for variable names

There were also some other coding standards issues as well
as additional comments and such.
