I think I found the answer to the "where do I start" question. Cleaning
this will remove a lot of
clutter from the tests. Seem to be a good way to start.

I'm struggling to get "make test-stm8" working. I build a version with both
stm8 and ucsim enabled and I can run "make test-stm8" but it seems to be in
an infinite loop without stopping. What is the expected time the full test
suite takes to run? I want to run this because maybe stm8 is some sort of
reference I can follow to see how things are done.
