define an abstract way to configure and run tests that allow us to
change the context in which tests are built without affecting the user.
This also makes pretty and dynamic error reporting, and a lot of other
nice features easier.
kunit_config.py:
- parse .config and Kconfig files.
kunit_kernel.py: provides helper functions to:
- configure the kernel using kunitconfig.
We get the tools to run the config stuff, build, etc, but not a top
level 'make kunitconfig' or whatever. We have things like 'make
kvmconfig' and 'make xenconfig', I think it would be reasonable to
add similar for this.
