Context:
It's difficult to map a given .kunitconfig => set of enabled tests.

Having a standard, easy way of getting the list could be useful in a
number of ways. For example, if we also extended kunit.filter_glob to
allow filtering on tests, this would allow users to run tests cases one
by one if they wanted to debug hermeticity issues.

This patch:
* adds a kunit.action module param with one valid non-null value, "list"
* for the "list" action, it simply prints out "<suite>.<test>"
* does not itself introduce kunit.py changes to make use of this [1].

Note: kunit.filter_glob is respected for this and all future actions.
Note: we need a TAP header for kunit.py to isolate the KUnit output.

Go with a more generic "action" param, since it seems like we might
eventually have more modes besides just running or listing tests, e.g.
* perhaps a benchmark mode that reruns test cases and reports timing
* perhaps a deflake mode that reruns test cases that failed
* perhaps a mode where we randomize test order to try and catch
  hermeticity bugs like "test a only passes if run after test b"

Tested:
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kernel_arg=kunit.action=list --raw_output=kunit
...
TAP version 14
1..1
example.example_simple_test
example.example_skip_test
example.example_mark_skipped_test
reboot: System halted

[1] The interface for this can work in a few ways. We could add a
--list_tests flag or a new subcommand. But this change is enough to
allow people to split each suite into its own invocation, e.g. via a
short script like:

  #!/bin/bash

  cd $(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)

  for suite in $(
    ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run --kernel_args=kunit.action=list --raw_output=kunit |
    sed -n '/^TAP version/,$p' | grep -P -o '^[a-z][a-z0-9_-]+\.' | tr -d '.' | sort -u);
  do
    ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py run "${suite}"
  done

I really like this feature, and could live with the implementation,
but do feel like we should probably have a more detailed idea of how
the kunit_tool changes are going to work before settling on it for
sure.

In particular, is the "<suite>.<test>" format the best way of giving
test information, or do we want something more (K)TAP-like. (e.g., a
test hierarchy with all tests marked SKIPed, or otherwise limited in
some way). Maybe that'd allow some of the parser code to be re-used,
and have fewer issues with having two separate ways of representing
the test hierarchy. (What if, e.g., there were test or suite names
with '.' in them?)

On the other hand, this format does make it easier to use the
filter_glob stuff, so it could go either way...

I don't mind having a TAP header here, but we could either:
(a) have a separate header for a test list, and have kunit_tool look
for that as well, to avoid treating this as TAP when it isn't; or
(b) try to standardise a "test list" format as part of KTAP:

The "action" parameter is fine by me. Do we want to give the default
"run" action a name as well as making it the default?

I really don't like the test plan line combined with the
"<suite>.<test>" format, particularly since this example notes that
there's only one test (presumably the suite), and then proceeds to
have three top-level things afterwards. It seems pretty misleading to
me.

Yeah, the main point of this is to be consistent with filter_glob and
test-level filtering.
If we can come up with a more generic, "TAP-like" identifier for
tests, we could use that for here and for filtering.

Using "suite.test" seems to be relatively standard, hence why I've
gone with that for both.
E.g. in python:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#command-line-interface

$ python -m unittest test_module.TestClass.test_method

Though I've only ever used that without "test_module" as

$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit_tool_test.py KconfigTest
...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 3 tests in 0.001s

OK
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit_tool_test.py KconfigTest.test_is_subset_of
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 1 test in 0.001s

OK

So I'd really prefer we stick with the current format, tbh.

b. feels a bit overkill.

I agree it's very hacky.
I didn't want to mess around too much with the parser code while Rae
was working on it.

But we could change the parser code:
* `func extract_tap_lines()` => `func extract_kunit_lines()`
* kunit_start_re => `TAP...|KUNIT OTHER OUTPUT START MARKER`

and use that marker here.

I'm fine with adding a new marker, but I assumed we'd probably need to
spend a good amount of time bikeshedding what exactly this new header
would be :P
Whereas this works right now and is ugly in a way that I don't think
most people would notice.

I originally did that, but then realized we'd probably never use an
explicit "run" action ever.
I've added it back in locally and will include it in a v2.
