Automated hardware testing improvements

These add functionality required to deploy images and run tests on a wider range of real hardware, as well as improving robustness in a couple of areas.

A related patchset to add testing for two of the Yocto Project reference platforms (beaglebone and edgerouter) will be sent for meta-yocto-bsp.

The following changes since commit 1e1b42f687b5cd34623fe2682218958e1947eb92:
