Add argument to the check command in the test suite that takes a regular
expression that the output of rtla command is checked against. This
allows testing for specific information in rtla output in addition
to checking the return value.
Two minor improvements are included: running rtla with "eval" so that
arguments with spaces can be passed to it via shell quotations, and
the stdout of pushd and popd is suppressed to clean up the test output.

Add function to test engine to test with pre-set osnoise options, and
use it to test whether osnoise period (as an example) is set correctly.
The test works by pre-setting a high period of 10 minutes and stop on
threshold. Thus, it is easy to check whether rtla is properly resetting
the period to default: if it is, the test will complete on time, since
the first sample will overflow the threshold. If not, it will time out.

Remove any dangling tracing instances from previous improperly exited
runs of rtla, and reset osnoise options to default before running a test
case.
This ensures that the test results are deterministic. Specific test
cases checked that rtla behaves correctly even when the tracer state is
not clean will be added later.
