This patch updates the default toolchain used for runtime tests. The
last time this toolchain was updated was in commit
0207a65323 3 years ago. Since then,
multiple things have changed:
Firstly, it used uclibc-ng as the libc whereas since commit
4057e36ca9, glibc is used as the default
library.
And secondly, since commit 531b2a10cd, buildroot
dropped the support for gcc 8 and it cannot be built internally anymore.
So the testsuite was executed using a toolchain that can't be built by
the Buildroot internal toolchain backend anymore.
This new Bootlin toolchain stable 2022.08-1 is based on gcc 11.3.0,
linux headers 4.9.327, glibc 2.35 and binutils 2.38.
The previous toolchain bleeding edge 2018.11-1 is based on gcc 8.2.0,
linux headers 4.14.80, uclibc 1.0.30 and binutils 2.31.1
Nowadays Bootlin toolchains are packaged in Buildroot and we can
directly select them from BASIC_TOOLCHAIN_CONFIG and avoid
setting the toolchain parameters (BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM...).
The switch to Glibc requires to update some tests for the following
reasons:
- TestPython3Py, TestPython3Pyc and TestPython3PyPyc has been updated
since they use the libc binary file name in their test
(uClibc: libc.so.1 vs Glibc: libc.so.6).
- TestTmux needs at least one locale to pass (as stated in tmux help
text "tmux needs a working UTF-8 locale"), so use "C.UTF-8".
- TestOpenSsh needs a toolchain >= 5.x due to a openssh issue
(Similar to: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=13671)
Use the Bootlin toolchain bleeding-edge 2022.08-1 rhat provide
kernel headers 5.4
- TestShadow needs a toolchain >= 4.14
Use the Bootlin toolchain bleeding-edge 2022.08-1 rhat provide
kernel headers 5.4
Runtime tested on the gcc farm server.

The BRTest() class implements an assertRunOk() method that does the
very common work of running a command inside the emulator, and
checking that it is successful.
This commit changes all locations where this .assertRunOk() method can
be used, instead of open-coding the same logic.

The BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE can only be used by uClibc based toolchains with the
internal toolchain backend [1].
The test_tmux is using a external uClibc toolchain, so the
"BR2_GENERATE_LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"" line disapear from
the generated dot config (.config) leading to an error due to
a new check in the testsuite infra.
