tests: remotehost add execute_stop()

Before we have to kill an application we start in the thread - in most
cases using killall and sometimes kill other applicantions, e.g., tcpdump,
iper, iperf3, tshark.

With this patch we are able to stop/kill a single application/thread
instead, based on the pid file.
