[PATCH 00/11] Move test/py image creation into separate per-OS modules

test_ut.py has accumulated a setup_*_image() helper for every Linux
distribution that the bootflow tests want to boot. Each one is mostly
shell script and partition layout, so the file is large and the test
logic is hidden among image-creation details.

Move each setup function to its own module under test/py/img/, with a
shared common.py for mkdir_cond(), copy_partition() and the extlinux
helper. Each patch moves one image at a time so reviewers can see the
relocation cleanly.

While here, also redirect the generated disk images to the
persistent-data directory instead of writing them under the source
tree. The sandbox mmc, scsi and usb-flash drivers now look there first.

Further improvement are planned, such as using the context manager when
creating partitions.
