Python 2.7 will not be maintained past 2020.
Many scripts on the tree are used during the build and should keep
Python 2 compatibility for a while.
This is not the case for the runtime test infra. It's meant to be run in
modern distros only, so it can safely switch to support Python 3 only.
An advantage of this approach is to have less scenarios to test in.
Otherwise every change to the test infra or runtime tests would need to
be tested against both versions of the interpreter, increasing the
effort of the developers, to ensure the compatibility to Python 2 was
not broken.
In order to accomplish the change to Python 3:
- change the shebang for run-tests;
- use Python 3 urllib as a drop-in replacement for Python 2 urllib2;
- when writing the downloaded binary files, explicitly open the output
file as binary;
- when subprocess is used to retrieve the text output from commands,
explicitly ask for text output. For this, use 'universal_newlines'
because 'text' was added only on Python 3.7;
- when pexpect is used to retrieve the text output from qemu or git,
explicitly ask for text output using 'encoding';
- the code using csv currently follows the example in the documentation
for the Python 2 module, change it to follow the example in the
documentation for the Python 3 module;
- fix the relative import for test_git.py to be Python 3 compliant.

Currently many test cases call subprocess.check_output on their own.
Factor out that code to an infra method so the call get standardized.
This will be handful when switching the test infra to use Python 3.

Currently run-tests must be called from the Buildroot top directory.
Derive the top directory from the script path, so run-tests can be called from
any path.
As a consequence the test infra will always test the repo it belongs to.

Fix three issues with code style in our test infra:
- 'print' is now a function,
- exceptions need to be caught-assigned with the 'as' keyword,
- old-style "%s"%() formatting is deprecated.

Fix the trivial warnings from flake8:
- remove modules imported but unused;
- use 2 lines before class or module level method;
- remove blank line at end of file.

We currently call infra.smart_open() to open log files each time we
need to write to them.
Opening the file once in the constructor of Builder and Emulator and
writing to it whenever needed is simpler and slightly more efficient.
Remove smart_open and instead create a new open_log_file() function
which just opens the logfile. Also let it compute the filename, in
order to simplify even further the Builder and Emulator code.

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!
