Probably it would make sense as well to include other subsystem
test case developers/authors from testing/selftests/* in discussion,
since not only testing/selftests/net/ might want to use it, not
sure.
I don't know how far we want to go here or what is planned, but
maybe also having a look at libtap or others might be quite useful:
https://github.com/zorgnax/libtap/blob/master/tap.h
https://github.com/zorgnax/libtap/blob/master/tap.c
If we want to introduce something generic, then this should maybe
go under testing/selftests/lib/ so that others can make use of
that as well and convert (at least) some of their selftests.
