dev-manual: Updated Runtime Testing for Package Installation
Fixes [YOCTO #9672]
Updated the "Exporting Tests" section to reflect the proper
local.conf settings.
Added a new section "Installing Packages in the DUT Without the
Package Manager" that describes how to use a JSON file to accomplish
package installation on a Device Under Test without a package
manager.

+ When a test requires a package built by BitBake, it is possible
+ to install that package.
+ Installing the package does not require a package manager be
+ installed in the device under test (DUT).
+ It does, however, require an SSH connection and the target must
+ be using the <filename>sshcontrol</filename> class.
+ <note>
+ This method uses <filename>scp</filename> to copy files
+ from the host to the target, which causes permissions and
+ special attributes to be lost.

+ A JSON file is used to define the packages needed by a test.
+ This file must be in the same path as the file used to define
+ the tests.
+ Furthermore, the filename must map directory to the test
+ module name with a <filename>.json</filename> extension.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ The JSON file must include an object with the test name as
+ keys of an object or an array.
+ This object (or array of objects) uses the following data:
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem><para>"pkg" - A mandatory string that is the
+ name of the package to be installed.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>"rm" - An optional boolean, which defaults
+ to "false", that specifies to remove the package after
+ the test.
+ </para></listitem>
+ <listitem><para>"extract" - An optional boolean, which
+ defaults to "false", that specifies if the package must
+ be extracted from the package format.

+ installed into the DUT.
