Thomas Huth 4a722d2e8e docs/devel/testing/functional: Clarify that we have to use the build folder
Make it clear that the commands have to be run from the folder with the
build, and use the python3 from our pyvenv to make sure that the
pycotap module is available.

Daniel P. Berrangé 1a8755a51e tests/functional: add a QMP backdoor for debugging stalled tests
Support the QEMU_TEST_QMP_BACKDOOR=backdoor.sock env variable as a
way to get a QMP backdoor for debugging a stalled QEMU test. Most
typically this would be used if running the tests directly:

 $ QEMU_TEST_QMP_BACKDOOR=backdoor.sock \
   QEMU_TEST_QEMU_BINARY=./build/qemu-system-arm \
   PYTHONPATH=./python \
   ./tests/functional/test_arm_tuxrun.py

And then, when the test stalls, in a second shell run:

 $ ./scripts/qmp/qmp-shell backdoor.sock

Daniel P. Berrangé dbaaef7dbf tests/functional: automatically clean up scratch files after tests
The build/tests/functional subdirectories are consuming huge amounts
of disk space.

Split the location for scratch files into a 'scratch' sub-directory,
separate from log files, and delete it upon completion of each test.
The new env variable QEMU_TEST_KEEP_SCRATCH can be set to preserve
this scratch dir for debugging access if required.

Thomas Huth c3e24cff2b docs/devel/testing: Add documentation for functional tests
Document the new functional testing framework. The text is originally
based on the Avocado documentation, but heavily modified to match the
new framework.
