Description
===========
Added thread model for function SingleTest::execute where for each target we
have separate thread.
Added new experimental feature. Currently we are only building in parallel
mbed SDK and libraries with dependencies.
Each MUT is flashed separately, but with this new feature we are able to
flash multiple boards at the same time and get results in parallel.
Test execution time is reduced by n where n is number of MUTs (MUT: mbed under
test).
using --parallel means that:
* separate thread will be spawned to build mbed SDK and dependencies (libraries)
for each unique target with all declared toolchains.
E.g:
Thread(n==1): LPC1768: ARM, uARM, GCC_ARM
Thread(n==2): K64F: ARM, GCC_ARM
Thread(n==3): NUCLEO_X: uARM
.
.
.
Thread(4): for toolchain in NUCLEO_Z[toolchains]
-> build mbed SDK
-> build libs
-> build project
-> run MUT testrunner
return test results for NUCLEO_Z[toolchain]
Done:
1. Added option --parallel.
2. Decoupled execute function so it can be run in parallel with other execute
functions.
3. Thread join via Queue, not Thread::Join() to avoid deadlocks or waits for
particular thread to finish.
4. All builds are in parallel, but because each target and library for each
toolchain have different directory we do not worry about building in
parallel and compiler collisions.
Missing:
1. No sync for 'print' (TODO).
2. No sync on test result structures - not needed because we only append to
them (?).
Experimental --parallel bugfix: self.test_suite_properties_ext dict was not
populated with target name.
Adde missing check for optional auto_detect parameter in CLI options.

* Check with mbed-ls installed:
$ singletest.py --auto -j 8

Added switch --tc to force certain toolchains.
Switch --auto and -tc works well with switch --config so do not hesitate to
check your configuration before running your test suite.
Added separate file to store test suite DB access interface
Added new functionality to database interface: database name, connection status, hostname + uname functionality
Added option --db to singletest.py so users can define database connection url for database access
Added database configuration check with switch --config. Now users can combine switch --db and --config to check database conenctivity
