We want tests to avoid the usage of sudo. Describe that virt-make-fs can
generate disk images without being root.

Running tests in parallel is much faster, e.g. 15 seconds to run the tests
on sandbox (only), instead of 100 seconds (on a 16-core machine). Add a
'make pcheck' option to access this feature.
Note that the tools/ tests still run each tool's tests once after the
other, although within that, they do run in parallel. So for example,
the buildman tests run in parallel, then the binman tests run in
parallel. There would be a signiificant advantage to running them all
in parallel together, but that would require a large amount of
refactoring, e.g. with more use of pytest fixtures.
Update the documentation to represent the current state.

When a test hands on a real board there is no way on the console to obtain
any information about why it hung.
With sandbox we can actually find out that it died and get a signal or
exit code. Add this to make it easier to figure out what happened.
So instead of:
test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect
c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace')
E OSError: [Errno 5] Input/output error
We get:
test/py/u_boot_spawn.py:171: in expect
c = os.read(self.fd, 1024).decode(errors='replace')
E ValueError: U-Boot exited with signal 11 (Signals.SIGSEGV)

This produces a lot of code output which is not very helpful and is quite
annoying to wade through. Use the short format by default.

Add a second on writing tests, covering when to use Python and C, where
to put the tests, etc. Add a link to the existing Python test
documentation.
