[OE-core] [RFC 0/1] ptest additions for coreutils

[Trevor Gamblin]

From: Trevor Gamblin <trevor.gamblin at windriver.com>

coreutils has a large number of tests, and potential RDEPENDS 
to be added to support them, along with the flags 
RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS and RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS that will add 
time and coverage. The RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes flag has 
been omitted from the run-ptest script to reduce run time and 
issues with timeouts on qemuarm64, even though this increases 
an already high SKIP count in the results. Similarly, adding 
valgrind to RDEPENDS will allow additional tests to pass, but 
this hasn't been included. 
Of the tests marked SKIP, there are 30 tests that are currently 
counted as SKIP because they require sudo permissions, and 
another 21 that require membership in multiple groups. 
Additionally, there is an issue with the "make check-TESTS" 
call finishing clearly during the ptest. 
Despite these issues, upstream input was desired before doing 
further development on the ptest additions.
