Johannes Berg a5d7da3fd3 hwsim tests: Prefill database in VM tests
In some cases, e.g., with the VM tests if the VM crashes, it
can be useful to know which tests should have run but didn't
(or didn't finish). In order to catch these more easily, add
an option to prefill the database with all tests at the very
beginning of the testing (in a new NOTRUN state) and use the
option in the VM tests.

Johannes Berg 63f83fac0d hwsim tests: Create results database in VM tests
Create a results.db in the output directory when running
the tests in a VM. To make that easier, create the tables
in the python script if they don't exist.

Johannes Berg 970d3b096f hwsim tests: Add scripts to run in a VM
Instead of running on the host, it can be useful to run in a
VM, particularly to test kernel rather than userspace changes,
so add a few scripts that allow doing so easily.

The basic idea is that the VM kernel is the same architecture
as the host kernel, so the host's root filesystem can be used
(in read-only mode) to run everything. Only a log filesystem
is mounted read-write and will get all the test output.

The kernel console output is collected to a special 'console'
file in the logs directory and kernel crashes are detected.
