The TEST_IMAGE interface has never particularly worked and image testing currently gets configured manually. This reworks the interface to better serve the needs of its users, replacing it with TESTIMAGE_AUTO. This does away with the need for the separate class due to better bitbake APIs for changing tasks. TESTIMAGE_AUTO will automatically boot under qemu any image that is built. It also adds in dependencies so that any SDK for which testing is requested will automatically be built first. The code in bitbake.conf was error prone (e.g. testsdk wasn't considered), this improves it to standardise on IMAGE_CLASSES as the standard configuration mechanism.

QEMU Emulation Targets ====================== To simplify development, the build system supports building images to work with the QEMU emulator in system emulation mode. Several architectures are currently supported in 32 and 64 bit variants: * ARM (qemuarm + qemuarm64) * x86 (qemux86 + qemux86-64) * PowerPC (qemuppc only) * MIPS (qemumips + qemumips64) Use of the QEMU images is covered in the Yocto Project Reference Manual. The appropriate MACHINE variable value corresponding to the target is given in brackets.
