[Buildroot] [PATCH 02/11] support/testing/infra/basetest.py: add BRHostPkgTest class

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Runtime test cases are currently mostly used to test target packages,
and the BRTest class is perfect for that as we can easily feed a
Buildroot configuration, boot it under Qemu and run commands inside
the emulator.

A few tests use the more basic BRConfigTest when they have special
needs that don't match with BRTest.

However, as we are going to add a number of tests to verify the proper
functionality of some host only packages, which have no visible
menuconfig option, it makes sense to add another BRHostPkgTest class
that allows to easily trigger the build of "make host-<foo>
host-<bar>", and then run some commands on the host machine. Such
tests could be done by using BRConfigTest, but that would require a
bit of duplicated boilerplate, which BRHostPkgTest allows to remove.
