lib/igt_core: Document testrunner interface a bit

Also fix up one gtkdoc fumble in igt_fb. We should use symbolic
defines if possible instead of just listening the magic 0, 77, 78
values for exit codes, but that's a separate patch.

* # Interface with Testrunners
*
* i-g-t testcase are all executables which should be run as root on an
* otherwise completely idle system. The test status is reflected in the
* exitcode. 0 means "success", 77 "skip", 78 that some operation "timed out".
* All other exit codes encode a failed test result, including any abnormal
* termination of the test (e.g. by SIGKILL).
*
* On top of that tests may report unexpected results and minor issues to
* stderr. If stderr is non-empty the test result should be treated as "warn".
*
* The test lists are generated at build time. Simple testcases are listed in
* tests/single-tests.txt and tests with subtests are listed in
* tests/multi-tests.txt. When running tests with subtest from a test runner it
* is recommend to run each subtest individually, since otherwise the return
* code will only reflect the overall result.
*
* To do that obtain the lists of subtests with "--list-subtests", which can be
* run as non-root and doesn't require the i915 driver to be loaded (or any
* intel gpu to be present). Then individual subtests can be run with
* "--run-subtest". Usage help for tests with subtests can be obtained with the
* "--help" commandline option.
