test: support running specific tests/modules targets

Add support for specifying single tests or modules to run via the
"--target" or "-t" command-line option. Multiple targets can be
provided; only the specified tests or all tests in the specified
module/s will run instead of the full suite.

Examples:
-t=<test name> runs an specific test.
-t=<module name> runs all tests within the specified module.

Both options can be provided multiple times.
