[RFC PATCH] tests/tcg: add mechanism to handle plugin arguments

[Alex Bennée]

We recently missed a regression that should have been picked up by
check-tcg. This was because the libmem plugin is effectively a NOP if
the user doesn't specify the type to use.

Rather than changing the default behaviour add an additional expansion
so we can take this into account in future.
