A test can, optionally, be tagged for one or many architectures. If a
test has been tagged for a single architecture, there's a high chance
that the test won't run on other architectures. This changes the
default order of choosing a default target architecture to use based
on the 'arch' tag value first.
The precedence order is for choosing a QEMU binary to use for a test
is now:
* qemu_bin parameter
* arch parameter
* arch tag value (for example, x86_64 if "🥑 tags=arch:x86_64
is used)
This means that if one runs:
$ avocado run -p qemu_bin=/usr/bin/qemu-system-x86_64 test.py
No arch parameter or tag will influence the selection of the QEMU
target binary. If one runs:
$ avocado run -p arch=ppc64 test.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "ppc64-softmmu/qemu-system-ppc64". And finally, if one runs
a test that is tagged (in its docstring) with "arch:aarch64":
$ avocado run aarch64.py
The target binary selection mechanism will attempt to find a binary
such as "aarch64-softmmu/qemu-system-aarch64".
At this time, no provision is made to cancel the execution of tests if
the arch parameter given (manually) does not match the test "arch"
tag, but it may be a useful default behavior to be added in the
future.

It's useful to define the architecture that should be used in
situations such as:
* the intended target of the QEMU binary to be used on tests
* the architecture of code to be run within the QEMU binary, such
as a kernel image or a full blown guest OS image
This commit introduces both a test parameter and a test instance
attribute, that will contain such a value.
Now, when the "arch" test parameter is given, it will influence the
selection of the default QEMU binary, if one is not given explicitly
by means of the "qemu_img" parameter.

This change adds the possibility to write acceptance tests with multi
virtual machine support. It's done keeping the virtual machines objects
stored in a test attribute (dictionary). This dictionary shouldn't be
accessed directly but through the new method added `get_vm`. This new
method accept a list of args (that will be added as virtual machine
arguments) and an optional name argument. The name is the key that
identify a single virtual machine along the test machines available. If
a name without a machine is informed a new machine will be instantiated.
The current usage of vm in tests will not be broken by this change since
it keeps a property called vm in the base test class. This property only
calls the new method `get_vm` with default parameters (no args and
'default' as machine name).

This is a simple move of Python code that wraps common QEMU
functionality, and are used by a number of different tests
and scripts.
By treating that code as a real Python module, we can more easily:
* reuse code
* have a proper place for the module's own unittests
* apply a more consistent style
* generate documentation

This patch adds the very minimum infrastructure necessary for writing
and running functional/acceptance tests, including:
* Documentation
* The avocado_qemu.Test base test class
* One example tests (version.py)
Additional functionality is expected to be added along the tests that
require them.
