Testing: add framework for the kernel unit tests.

Description

Testing: add framework for the kernel unit tests.

This changes intends to reduce the bar to the kernel unit-testing by
introducing a new kernel-testing framework ("ktest") based on Netlink,
loadable test modules and python test suite integration.

This framework provides the following features:

  • Integration to the FreeBSD test suite
  • Automatic test discovery
  • Automatic test module loading
  • Minimal boiler-plate code in both kernel and userland
  • Passing any metadata to the test
  • Convenient environment pre-setup using python testing framework
  • Streaming messages from the kernel to the userland
  • Running tests in the dedicated taskqueues
  • Skipping or parametrizing tests
