Add testcases for testing fadump with PSeries and PSeries+KVM
combinations
It tests if fadump is successfully detected and registered in the first
kernel boot. Then crashes the kernel, and verifies whether we have a
/proc/vmcore in the 2nd boot
Also introduce 'wait_for_regex_console_pattern' to check for cases where
there is a single success message, but can have multiple failure
messages.
This is particularly useful for cases such as fadump, where the
success message is
"Reserved 1024MB ... successfully"
But at the same point, it can fail with multiple errors such as
"Not supported" or "Allocation failed"
'wait_for_regex_console_pattern' also has a timeout, for cases when we
know the success/failure should appear in a short amount of time,
instead of waiting for the much longer test timeout, such as kernels
with support of fadump will print the success/failure in earlyboot of
the kernel, while kernel without support of fadump won't print anything
for long time, and without a timeout the testcase keeps waiting till
longer test timeout
