To make our efforts on QEMU testing easier to consume by contributors,
let's add a document. For example, Patchew reports build errors on
patches that should be relatively easy to reproduce with a few steps, and
it is much nicer if there is such a documentation that it can refer to.
This focuses on how to run existing tests and how to write new test
cases, without going into the frameworks themselves.
The VM based testing section is moved from tests/vm/README which now
is a single line pointing to the new doc.

Just setting level=DEBUG when debug is enabled is not enough: we
need to set up a log handler if we want debug messages generated
using logging.getLogger(...).debug() to be printed.
This was not a problem before because logging.debug() calls
logging.basicConfig() implicitly, but it's safer to not rely on
that.

This is the common code to implement a "VM test" to
1) Download and initialize a pre-defined VM that has necessary
dependencies to build QEMU and SSH access.
2) Archive $SRC_PATH to a .tar file.
3) Boot the VM, and pass the source tar file to the guest.
4) SSH into the VM, untar the source tarball, build from the source.
