Add two new macros that allow to register physim tests for ctest,
including timing thresholds that should be fulfilled.

First, add_timed_physim_test() registers a new test using a helper
script RunTimedTest.cmake. This is because after test execution, we need
to analyze logs, and the recommended way to do multiple steps in one
test is via a helper cmake script:
https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake-developers/2016-February/027816.html

Second, check_physim_threshold() adds new thresholds. It takes a text to
be parsed, and a condition (e.g., "< 20") to check for the number
following the threshold (which is assumed to be present right after the
threshold). It uses a test property to count the total number of checks
(limiting them to 10), and sets environment variables for the script.  I
initially planned to use a test property for checks, but those are only
valid in the same directory, and RunTimedTest.cmake seems to be assumed
by cmake to be "elsewhere", hence I needed to resort to environment
variables.

RunTimedTest.cmake is called through cmake with the test parameters and
checks. It re-constructs a list of checks [1], runs the test, and pipes
the log into a separate script that is passed all checks (see below).
Afterwards, it verifies that both the test and script passed.

A script analyze-timing.sh builds an awk script from the checks passed.
The script analyzes each line of the test output for the threshold, and
compares against the threshold. analyze-timing.sh returns success if all
checks passed.

[1] I did not manage to pass a "list" of checks in a single environment
variable through the check_physim_threshold(), which would be simpler.
