rtla/tests: Add unit tests for _parse_args() functions

Add a test suite for the _parse_args() function of each tool that checks
the params structures (struct common_params, struct osnoise_params,
struct timerlat_params) returned by them for correctness.

One test case is added per option, as well as a few special cases for
tricky combinations of options. Test cases are ordered the same as the
option arrays and help message to allow easy checking of whether all
options are covered.

This should help clarify what the proper command line behavior of RTLA
is in case there are holes in the documentation and verify that the
intended behavior is implemented correctly.

A few necessary changes to the unit tests were done as part of this
commit:

- Unit tests now also link to libsubcmd and its dependencies.
- A new global variable in_unit_test is added to RTLA's CLI interface,
causing it to skip check for root if running in unit tests. This
allows the CLI unit tests to run as non-root, like existing unit
tests.

There is quite a lot of duplication, some of it is mitigated with macros,
but partially it is intentional so that future changes in behavior are
tracked across tools.

rtla: Parse cmdline using libsubcmd

Instead of using getopt_long() directly to parse the command line
arguments given to an RTLA tool, use libsubcmd's parse_options().

Utilizing libsubcmd for parsing command line arguments has several
benefits:

- A help message is automatically generated by libsubcmd from the
specification, removing the need of writing it by hand.
- Options are sorted into groups based on which part of tracing (CPU,
thread, auto-analysis, tuning, histogram) they relate to.
- Common parsing patterns for numerical and boolean values now share
code, with the target variable being stored in the option array.

To avoid duplication of the option parsing logic, RTLA-specific
macros defining struct option values are created:

- RTLA_OPT_* for options common to all tools
- OSNOISE_OPT_* and TIMERLAT_OPT_* for options specific to
osnoise/timerlat tools
- HIST_OPT_* macros for options specific to histogram-based tools.

Individual *_parse_args() functions then construct an array out of
these macros that is then passed to libsubcmd's parse_options().

All code specific to command line options parsing is moved out of the
individual tool files into a new file, cli.c, which also contains the
contents of the rtla.c file. A private header, cli_p.h, is added
alongside the public header cli.h, so that unit tests are able to test
statically declared option callbacks.

Minor changes:

- The return value of tool-level help option changes to 129, as this is
the value set by libsubcmd; this is reflected in affected test cases.
The implementation of help for command-level and tracer-level help
is set to 129 as well for consistency, and the change is reflected in
exit value documentation.
- Related to the above, {rtla,osnoise,timerlat}_usage() are marked
__noreturn and exit() is removed from after they are called for
cleaner code.
- The error messages for invalid argument for options --dma-latency and
-E/--entries were corrected, fixing off-by-one in the limits.

Note that unsetting options (using --no-<opt> syntax) is currently not
implemented for options that use custom callbacks. For --irq and
--thread, it will never be implemented, as they conflict with already
existing --no-irq and --no-thread with a different meaning.
