Subject: [PATCH v4 00/10] kunit: Add dynamically-extending log

This patch chain changes the logging implementation to use string_stream
so that the log will grow dynamically.

The first 8 patches add test code for string_stream, and make some
changes to string_stream needed to be able to use it for the log.

The final patch adds a performance report of string_stream.

CHANGES SINCE V3:

Completely rewritten to use string_stream instead of implementing a
separate extending-buffer implementation for logging.

I have used the performance test from the final patch on my original
fixed-size-fragment implementation from V3 to get a comparison of the
two implementations (run on i3-8145UE CPU @ 2.20GHz):

                        string_stream     V3 fixed-size-buffer
Time elapsed:           7748 us           3251 us
Total string length:    573890            573890
Bytes requested:        823994            728336
Actual bytes allocated: 1061440           728352

I don't think the difference is enough to be worth complicating the
string_stream implementation with my fixed-fragment implementation from
V3 of this patch chain.
