bootconfig is a new feature that appends scripts onto the initrd, and the
kernel executes the scripts as an extended kernel command line.
Need to add tests to test that the happened. To test the bootconfig
properly, the initrd needs to be updated and the kernel rebooted. ktest is
the perfect solution to perform these tests.
Add a example bootconfig.conf in the tools/testing/ktest/examples/include
and example bootconfig scripts in tools/testing/ktest/examples/bootconfig
and also include verifier scripts that ktest will install on the target
and run to make sure that the bootconfig options in the scripts took place
after the target rebooted with the new initrd update.

Perl, as with most scripting languages, is fairly flexible in how /
where you can define things, and it will (for the most part) do what you
would expect it to do. This however can lead to situations, like with
ktest, where things get muddled over time.
This pushes the variable definitions back up to the top, followed by
functions, with the main script executables down at the bottom, INSTEAD
of being somewhat mish-mashed together in certain places. This mostly
has the advantage of making it more obvious where things are initially
defined, what functions are there, and ACTUALLY where the main script
starts executing, and should make this a little more approachable.

This cleans up some additional whitespace pieces that to be more
consistent, as well as moving a curly brace around, and some 'or'
statements to match the rest of the file (usually or goes at the
end of the line vs. at the beginning)

This is a followup to "ktest: Adding editor hints to improve
consistency" to actually adjust the existing indentation to match
the, now, expected pattern (first column 4 spaces, 2nd tab, 3rd
tab + 4 spaces, etc). This should, at least help, keep things
consistent going forward now.

Emacs and Vi(m) have different styles of dealing with perl syntax
which can lead to slightly inconsistent indentation, and makes the
code slightly harder to read. Emacs assumes a more perl recommended
standard of 4 spaces (1 column) or tab (two column) indentation.
Vi(m) tends to favor just normal spaces or tabs depending on what
was being used.
This gives the basic hinting to Emacs and Vim to do what is
expected to be basically consistent.
Emacs:
- Explicitly flip into perl mode, cperl would require
more adjustments
Vi(m):
- Set softtabs=4 which will flip it over to doing
indentation the way you would expect from Emacs

This duplicates the KVM/Qemu config with specific notes for how
to use it with VMware VMs on Workstation, Player, or Fusion.
The main thing to be aware of is how the serial port is exposed
which is a unix pipe, and will need something like ncat to get
into ktest's monitoring

The logic for truncating the log file for emailing based on the
MAIL_MAX_SIZE option is confusing and incorrect. Simplify it and have the
tail of the log file truncated to the max size specified in the config.

If the size of the error log is too big to send via email, and the sending
fails, it wont email any result. This can be confusing for the user who is
waiting for an email on the completion of the tests.
If it fails to send email, then try again without the log file stating that
it failed to send an email. Obviously this will not be of use if the sending
of email failed for some other reasons, but it will at least give the user
some information when it fails for the most common reason.

This issue was first noticed when I was testing different kernels on
Oracle Linux 8 which as Fedora 30+ adopts BLS as default. Even though a
kernel entry was added successfully and the index of that kernel entry was
retrieved correctly, ktest still wouldn't reboot the system into
user-specified kernel.
The bug was spotted in subroutine reboot_to where the if-statement never
checks for REBOOT_TYPE "grub2bls", therefore the desired entry will not be
set for the next boot.
Add a check for "grub2bls" so that $grub_reboot $grub_number can
be run before a reboot if REBOOT_TYPE is "grub2bls" then we can boot to
the correct kernel.

Currently, every write to the log file is done by opening the file, writing
to it, then closing the file. This rather expensive. Just open it at the
beginning and close it at the end.

There is a NOT DEFINED operator, but there is not an operator that can
negate any other expression.
For example: NOT (${FOO} == boot || ${BAR} == run)
Add the keyword NOT to allow the ktest.pl config files to negate operators.

If a log file is defined and the test were to error, a print statement is
made that shows the user where the log file is to examine it further. But
this is not done if the test were to succeed.
I find it annoying that it does not show where the log file is on success,
as I run several different tests that place their log files in various
locations, and even though the test pass, there's things I want to look at
in the log file (like warnings). It is much easier to find where the log
file is, if it is displayed at the end of a test.

When performing a automatic config bisect via ktest.pl, it is very useful to
have a copy of each of the bisects used. This way, if a bisect were to go
wrong, it is possible to retrace the steps and continue at the location
before the error was made.
The ktest.pl will make a copy of the good and bad configs, labeled as such,
as well as a number attached to it that represents the iteration of the
bisect. These files are saved in the ktest temp directory where it currently
stores the good and bad config files.
