1. test: Enable specifying flaky tests on fips …

   Adds a way to mark a specified test as 'flaky' on fips compliant
   systems.
   
   Earlier, the ``tools/test.py`` script supported only 'mode',
   'system' and 'arch' for test environment specification. This limits the
   ability to specify the behavior of tests and setting pre-determined
   behavior of the same on other types of systems. As an example, the
   feature request below indicates the need to specify certain tests as
   'flaky' on fips compliant systems. It hints at future possibility of a
   shared library, which in turn may need a specifier for running tests.
   
   This commit introduces a new item in the ``env`` dict, called ``type``
   which defaults to ``simple`` type. It also adds an optional command
   line argument ``--type``, which inputs strings. Current functionality
   extends to setting ``simple`` or ``fips`` for this ``type`` variable.
   However, extending it to further uses is rather simple by adding "if"
   conditions at appropriate places in the ``tools/test.py`` script.
   
   Fixes: issue 14746
