test-suite: Added new test suite feature (experimental)

This patch adds support for installing the gcc test suite. A helper
Makefile is provided for building and running the gcc tests.

The default configuration runs all gcc tests and requires automatic
ssh/scp login access to a networked target board. See README for
more details.

Note: Current feature is tested with the powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
sample but it should work with others as well.

     1 Original patch from H.J. Lu, as reported there:

     4 fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper 16bit of %eax is unchanged.
     5 The new assembler (binutils-2.18.50.0.4 and up) will disallow "fnstsw %eax".
