[OE-core] [PATCH 0/6] YB #6375 #6254

[Corneliu Stoicescu]

This series of patches affects the automated runtime tests and introduces the following changes/features:

YB #6375: Add support for more rootfs compression formats
- The target controller dynamically determines what IMAGE_FSTYPES to use based on the value of supported_image_fstypes that each target controller defines or inherits. This is needed for:
    * givint the targer controllers the possibility to choose an image fstype that is actually built instead of relying on a hard-coded value
    * enable external scripts to predict the name of the rootfs file.
- Added bzip2 to the core-image-testmaster that decompresses the test roofs files. This is needed ATM for BSPs like beaglebone and edgeruter.

YB #6254: Set up automated testing of autobuilder images on real hardware
We need a script that fetches images from a remote http server(for now) and uses them to conduct runtime tests. For this we needed:
- to be able to import and use the testargetloader.py module to find the target controller beying used
- create and access classmethods from the target controllers that would give information about the images needed for download (like rootfs type and extra files)
- a script that could use the above, run the runtime tests and return the results

NOTE: This script relies on the merge of "[PATCH] oeqa/utils/commands.py: add support for postconfig option" allready on the mailing list.
