It needs mkzftree from zisofs-tools, so we add a dependency to it, and
we call that one explicitly (to avoid using the one from the host in
PATH).
It also needs the the uncompressed kernel image, but because it is
already in target/ so it gets compressed by mkzftree. We have two
options:
- compress everything but the kernel image,
- compress everything, kernel included, and recopy it later.
We choose the latter, because it is the simplest solution. So, we always
define the kernel-copy hook, but only register it when needed.
Finally, it needs a kernel with support for transparent
(de)compression, so we update the existing test config.

The Linux 4.0 kernel doesn't build with gcc 6.x, which is used since
the toolchain update in commit
193dfffa83 ("support/testing: use more
recent toolchains"). So let's update to Linux 4.11 instead (like the
existing Qemu x86 defconfig does), and update the kernel configuration
file accordingly.

grub is no longer maintained: it is stuck at version 0.97 with huge
patches that have no opportunity to be applied upstream, as upstream
has even renamed it grub-legacy.
Besides, it no longer builds correctly with recent binutils versions,
and even the huge patches we could grab from Debian do not help the
slightest.
Since upstream really considers it dead, and there are at least two
alternatives (grub2 and syslinux), just remove grub.
Add a legacy entry.
Remove the test cases as well.

Let the user to pass -t to set the number of testcases to run
simultaneously.
When -j is not specified, calculate it to split the available cores
between the simultaneous testcases.
Example of auto calculated -j for cpu_count 8:
-t -j total
1 9 9
2 4 8
3 3 9
4 2 8
>=5 1 t

This commit adds a number of test cases for various filesystem formats:
ext2/3/4, iso9660, jffs2, squashfs, ubi/ubifs and yaffs2. All of them
except yaffs2 are runtime tested. The iso9660 set of test cases is
particularly rich, testing the proper operation of the iso9660 support
with all of grub, grub2 and isolinux.

This commit adds the core of a new testing infrastructure that allows to
perform runtime testing of Buildroot generated systems. This
infrastructure uses the Python unittest logic as its foundation.
This core infrastructure commit includes the following aspects:
- A base test class, called BRTest, defined in
support/testing/infra/basetest.py. This base test class inherited
from the Python provided unittest.TestCase, and must be subclassed by
all Buildroot test cases.
Its main purpose is to provide the Python unittest setUp() and
tearDown() methods. In our case, setUp() takes care of building the
Buildroot system described in the test case, and instantiate the
Emulator object in case runtime testing is needed. The tearDown()
method simply cleans things up (stop the emulator, remove the output
directory).
- A Builder class, defined in support/testing/infra/builder.py, simply
responsible for building the Buildroot system in each test case.
- An Emulator class, defined in support/testing/infra/emulator.py,
responsible for running the generated system under Qemu, allowing
each test case to run arbitrary commands inside the emulated system.
- A run-tests script, which is the entry point to start the tests.
Even though I wrote the original version of this small infrastructure, a
huge amount of rework and improvement has been done by Maxime
Hadjinlian, and squashed into this patch. So many thanks to Maxime for
cleaning up and improving my Python code!
