tools/rtla: Add basic test suite

Implement a simple TAP-based test engine in bash and a few basic tests
using it, to be used to check for bugs and regressions.

A new "check" target is added to the rtla Makefile that runs the test suite
using the "prove" command implemented by Test::Harness.

The only test format currently supported is running rtla with defined
command arguments per test, checking its exit code. In case the exit
code is non-zero, the output of rtla is displayed, together with the
exit code.

The test cases are adopted from rtla tests in the Continuous Kernel
Integration (CKI) project [1] with the authors' approval.
