osstest Xen testing system

" summary

osstest runs continuous Xen.org push gates on a dedicated Citrix pool and blocks commits that show regressions while automatically bisecting across multiple trees (including qemu and xen.git); each run is a flight composed of build and test jobs executed by sg run job which invokes mostly Perl scripts that use test_support.pm and share state in an sqlite database. A standalone mode lets developers run individual steps locally (build, install guest, migration test) so new tests can be added and debugged without the production infrastructure.
