355: Add on-target tests to CI r=thejpster a=newAM
A week ago in the rust-embedded matrix chat `@adamgreig` mentioned that on-target CI would be helpful for the `cortex-m` and `cortex-m-rt` crates. This is a pull-request to make that happen.
## History: Bootstrapping and `cortex-m-rt`
The first problem I came across was the amount of boilerplate required to build an on-target binary without `cortex-m-rt`.
There are two paths forward here:
1. Introduce a lot of boilerplate in `cortex-m`, which will largely be copy-pasted from `cortex-m-rt`.
2. Relocate `cortex-m-rt` to this workspace.
In (#391) `cortex-m-rt` was relocated to this workspace to fix the bootstrapping problem.
## Test Execution
Tests run with QEMU and physical hardware.
QEMU uses the LM3S6965 Cortex-M3 target because it is widely used.
The physical hardware is a NUCLEO-F070RB connected to a self-hosted runner. In the future more hardware can be added to cover more CPUs.
Due to reliability concerns with self-hosted runners only QEMU will be a required status check in CI, the physical hardware checks will be informational only.
### CI Software
The CI software for running on physical hardware is simply a self-hosted github actions runner. A working demonstration of this can be found [here](https://github.com/newAM/totally-not-a-cortex-m-fork/runs/5345451343?check_suite_focus=true) (the repository does not appear as a fork to work around github actions limitations with forks).
The runner uses [`probe-run`] to execute the tests on embedded hardware. [`probe-run`] was chosen for several reasons:
* Actively maintained by [knurling-rs], with an actively maintained back-end from [`probe-rs`].
* Written in rust. Understanding the code does not require contributors to learn a new language.
* Designed with on-target testing as a primary goal (for use with [`defmt-test`]).
* Automatic unwinding and backtrace display.
## Test Harness
This PR introduces a test harness, `minitest`.
`minitest` is almost identical to [`defmt-test`], the only difference is that it replaces [`defmt`] with [`rtt-target`] because [`defmt`] introduces a dependency cycle on `cortex-m`.
This is harness is very minimal, adding only 327 lines of rust:
```console
$ tokei testsuite/minitest

```
The test harness does introduce some abstraction, and may not be suitable for all tests. Lower-level tests are still possible without the harness using `asm::udf` to fail the test, and `asm::bkpt` to exit without failure.
## Reliability and Uptime
I have been doing automatic on-target testing for the [`stm32wlxx-hal`] using [`probe-run`]. Over hundreds of automatic runs spanning several months I have had no failures as a result of external factors (USB connectivity, programming errors, ect.). I do not anticipate on-target CI being perfect, but at the same time I do not anticipate frequent problems.
