target: add support for target side scripts
Some complex operations are faster if executed on the target side with the
help of a small script. For example, reading the current frequency and
or governor for all the online CPUs.
This patch adds a support script to be deployed on the target as well as
an internal utility function which allows to call functions provided by
that support script.
The support script has to be cross platform, thus:
1. only a limited set of shell functions can be used, which must be supported
both in BASH and the Android shell
2. some paths needs to be defined depending on the specific target
To address the last constrain, this patch provides a "template" script which
contains some tokens "__DEVLIB_<TOKEN>__" that are replaced right before to
push the script on the target.
