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.

The git tests don't need to do a full build, they only need to do a
configure and download and/or legal-info. More tests of that type will
be added in the future. Therefore, we want to have a test base class
that doesn't automatically do a full build in the setUp().
Add this new class as a superclass of the existing BRTest class, so we
don't need to update existing tests. Only the code in run-tests that
iterates over all subclasses of BRTest has to be adapted to use
BRConfigTest instead.

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.

Use an empty environment when calling make, but import PATH so the
buildroot tree under test can find binaries from the host machine.
Since environment variables are now ignored, move the handling of
BR2_DL_DIR to the defconfig to keep the current precedence of -d:
BR2_DL_DIR | -d DIR | test downloads | BR downloads
------------+----------+------------------+--------------
unset | unset | [error] | [error]
unset | set | in $(DIR) | in $(DIR)
set | unset | in $(BR2_DL_DIR) | in $(BR2_DL_DIR)
set | set | in $(DIR) | in $(DIR)

Currently, the download directory, when specified with the -d option, is
only used to store the files downloaded by the testing infra, not those
downloaded by Buildroot.
So, we end up with this situation:
BR2_DL_DIR | -d DIR | test downloads | BR downloads
------------+----------+------------------+--------------
unset | unset | [error] | [error]
unset | set | in $(DIR) | in $(TOP_DIR)/dl
set | unset | in $(BR2_DL_DIR) | in $(BR2_DL_DIR)
set | set | in $(DIR) | in $(BR2_DL_DIR)
This is not very consistent.
We change the behaviour so that the value of -d always takes precedence,
and is used by Buildroot as well, giving this new behaviour:
BR2_DL_DIR | -d DIR | test downloads | BR downloads
------------+----------+------------------+--------------
unset | unset | [error] | [error]
unset | set | in $(DIR) | in $(DIR)
set | unset | in $(BR2_DL_DIR) | in $(BR2_DL_DIR)
set | set | in $(DIR) | in $(DIR)

When we list the available tests, we use test_dir, which is set from
the path of the script. However, when we run the tests, we use the
hard-coded path.
Ditto to find the config file.
For consistency, always use test_dir.

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!
