Hi all,

This patch was motivated by the increasing corner cases in the livepatch
code.  These tests don't cover anywhere near all of them, but were
mostly already written up as demonstrations / documentation of the
livepatch callback functionality.  Converting them into a test rig
didn't take long.

So the testing methodology is a little hokey as it relies on dmesg order
and filtering.  That said, it's already been used to verify livepatch
callback for "livepatch: Atomic replace feature" patchset.  Any
suggestions for better testing would be welcome.

I didn't get to the shadow variable testing script yet.  I figured that
I'd share the current state before I got too far along in writing tests.
Suggestions for additional tests and test categories welcome as well.

To try out the tests, configure with:
CONFIG_TEST_LIVEPATCH=m
  
Build kernel, modules, install, etc. then reboot and kick off:
% make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=livepatch run_tests

The tests expect to on top of v10+ of the "livepatch: Atomic replace
feature" series and take ~2.5 minutes to complete.

rfc changes:
- SPDX-License-Identifiers
- Moved livepatch test modules into lib/livepatch
- Renamed livepatch.sh (filename suffix)
- Reduced between-test delay time
- Split off common functions.sh file
- Split into separate livepatch, callbacks, and shadow-vars scrips
- Gave the tests short descriptions instead of TEST1, TEST2, etc.
