Add python script with new logic of searching for tests:

Current ./check behavior:
   - tests are named [0-9][0-9][0-9]
   - tests must be registered in group file (even if test doesn't belong
     to any group, like 142)

Behavior of new test:
   - group file is dropped
   - tests are searched by file-name instead of group file, so it's not
     needed more to "register the test", just create it with name
     *-test. Old names like [0-9][0-9][0-9] are supported too, but not
     recommended for new tests

I wonder if a tests/ subdirectory instead of the -test suffix would
organise things a bit better.


It will make more difficult to import iotests.py.. Calling common.rc from
bash tests will need to be modified too.

So, we'll need additional line in all python tests:

sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..'))

which doesn't seem to be good practice.. So, instead we'd better call
tests with PYTHONPATH set appropriately..


Just chiming in to say that it's largely bad practice because it
confuses pylint, mypy and friends -- if we want to keep pushing our CI
code analysis for python in that direction, this will be a barrier.

Using PYTHONPATH is better, because it isolates the script itself from
the environment, but requires you to now always set PYTHONPATH to
execute any of the individual iotests.

Not actually a big deal, because iotests already expect a large number
of environment variables to be set. It's not really a huge net loss in
convenience, I think.

looks like that's the direction you're headed in anyway based on
discussion, so that's good.


Hm, does PYTHONPATH-way works good with mypy and friends? Probably, it should
be set when checking the code? So, actually developers will have to set
PYTHONPATH by hand to always contain some directories within qemu source tree?
