Subject: [RFC v2 00/12] kunit: introduce class mocking support.

# Background
KUnit currently lacks any first-class support for mocking.
For an overview and discussion on the pros and cons, see
https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html

This patch set introduces the basic machinery needed for mocking:
setting and validating expectations, setting default actions, etc.

Using that basic infrastructure, we add macros for "class mocking", as
it's probably the easiest type of mocking to start with.

## Class mocking

By "class mocking", we're referring mocking out function pointers stored
in structs like:
  struct sender {
        int (*send)(struct sender *sender, int data);
  };
or in ops structs
  struct sender {
        struct send_ops *ops; // contains `send`
  };

After the necessary DEFINE_* macros, we can then write code like
  struct MOCK(sender) mock_sender = CONSTRUCT_MOCK(sender, test);

  /* Fake an error for a specific input. */
  handle = KUNIT_EXPECT_CALL(send(<omitted>, kunit_int_eq(42)));
  handle->action = kunit_int_return(test, -EINVAL);

  /* Pass the mocked object to some code under test. */
  KUNIT_EXPECT_EQ(test, -EINVAL, send_message(...));

I.e. the goal is to make it easier to test
1) with less dependencies (we don't need to setup a real `sender`)
2) unusual/error conditions more easily.

In the future, we hope to build upon this to support mocking in more
contexts, e.g. standalone funcs, etc.

# TODOs

## Naming
This introduces a number of new macros for dealing with mocks,
e.g:
  DEFINE_STRUCT_CLASS_MOCK(METHOD(foo), CLASS(example),
                           RETURNS(int),
                           PARAMS(struct example *, int));
  ...
  KUNIT_EXPECT_CALL(foo(mock_get_ctrl(mock_example), ...);
For consistency, we could prefix everything with KUNIT, e.g.
`KUNIT_DEFINE_STRUCT_CLASS_MOCK` and `kunit_mock_get_ctrl`, but it feels
like the names might be long enough that they would hinder readability.

## Usage
For now the only use of class mocking is in kunit-example-test.c
As part of changing this from an RFC to a real patch set, we're hoping
to include at least one example.

Pointers to bits of code where this would be useful that aren't too
hairy would be appreciated.
E.g. could easily add a test for tools/perf/ui/progress.h, e.g. that
ui_progress__init() calls ui_progress_ops.init(), but that likely isn't
useful to anyone.

v2: 
* Pass `struct kunit *` to mock init's to allow allocating ops structs.
* Update kunit-example-test.cc to do so as a more realistic example.
