Subject: [PATCH] tools: selftests - create a separate hotplug target

On some systems, hotplug tests could hang forever waiting for cpu and
memory to be ready to be offlined. A special hotplug target is created,
which will help run non-hotplug tests and run hotplug tests as a special
case. Individual hotplug tests can still be run as a special target
targeted for a single subsystem.
