David Gow 7170b7ed6a kunit: Add "hooks" to call into KUnit when it's built as a module
KUnit has several macros and functions intended for use from non-test
code. These hooks, currently the kunit_get_current_test() and
kunit_fail_current_test() macros, didn't work when CONFIG_KUNIT=m.

In order to support this case, the required functions and static data
need to be available unconditionally, even when KUnit itself is not
built-in. The new 'hooks.c' file is therefore always included, and has
both the static key required for kunit_get_current_test(), and a table
of function pointers in struct kunit_hooks_table. This is filled in with
the real implementations by kunit_install_hooks(), which is kept in
hooks-impl.h and called when the kunit module is loaded.

This can  be extended for future features which require similar
"hook" behaviour, such as static stubs, by simply adding new entries to
the struct, and the appropriate code to set them.
