Now that all Avocado tests have been converted to or been replaced by
other functional tests, we can delete the remainders of the Avocado
tests from the QEMU source tree.

We should tell the users where to find the log file.
While we're at it, also rename the "Overview" heading to a
more accurate "Introduction to writing tests" instead.

The 'qemu_bin' field is currently set on the class, despite being
accessed as if it were an object instance field with 'self.qemu_bin'.
This is no obvious need to have it as a class field, so move it into
the object instance.

Some tests have a very long runtime and might run into timeout issues
e.g. when QEMU has been compiled with --enable-debug. Add a decorator
for marking them more easily. Rename the corresponding environment
variable to be more in sync with the other QEMU_TEST_ALLOW_* switches
that we already have, and add a paragraph about it in the documentation.

Make it clear that the commands have to be run from the folder with the
build, and use the python3 from our pyvenv to make sure that the
pycotap module is available.

Support the QEMU_TEST_QMP_BACKDOOR=backdoor.sock env variable as a
way to get a QMP backdoor for debugging a stalled QEMU test. Most
typically this would be used if running the tests directly:
$ QEMU_TEST_QMP_BACKDOOR=backdoor.sock \
QEMU_TEST_QEMU_BINARY=./build/qemu-system-arm \
PYTHONPATH=./python \
./tests/functional/test_arm_tuxrun.py
And then, when the test stalls, in a second shell run:
$ ./scripts/qmp/qmp-shell backdoor.sock

The build/tests/functional subdirectories are consuming huge amounts
of disk space.
Split the location for scratch files into a 'scratch' sub-directory,
separate from log files, and delete it upon completion of each test.
The new env variable QEMU_TEST_KEEP_SCRATCH can be set to preserve
this scratch dir for debugging access if required.
