The gen_kselftest_tar.sh always packages *all* selftests and doesn't
pass along any variables to `make install` to influence what should be
built. This can result in an early error on the command line ("Unknown
tarball format TARGETS=XXX"), or unexpected test failures as the
tarball contains tests people wanted to skip on purpose.
Since the makefile already contains all the logic, we can add a target
for packaging. Keep the default .gz target the script uses, and actually
extend the supported formats by using tar's autodetection.
To not break current workflows, keep the gen_kselftest_tar.sh script as
it is, with an added suggestion to use the makefile target instead.

The default installation location for gen_kselftest_tar.sh was still
"kselftest/" which collides with the existing directory. Instead, this
moves the installation target into "kselftest_install/kselftest/" and
adjusts the tar creation accordingly. This also adjusts indentation and
logic to be consistent.

gen_kselftest_tar.sh tool generates kselftest tar archive. This tool
supports uncompressed tar, gz, bz, and xz compression formats and the
default compression format is gzip. This tool runs kselftest install
tool as its back-end.
Usage:
cd tools/testing/selftests
./gen_kselftest_tar [ tar | targz | tarbz2 | tarxz ]
