[PATCH v5 13/20] test: Introduce lab mode

There is quite a bit of code in pytest to try to start up U-Boot on a
board, with timeouts, expects, etc.

This is tedious to maintain and is peripheral to the test system's
purpose. It seems better to put this logic in the lab itself, where is
can provide such support.

With Labgrid we can use the UbootStrategy class to get the board into a
useful state, however it needs to do it. Then it can report to pytest
by writing a suitable string along with the U-Boot version it detected.

Add support for detecting 'lab mode' and simply assume that all is well
in that case. Collect the version string when Labgrid says it is ready.
