kunit: tool: suggest using decode_stacktrace.sh on kernel crash

Browse Source 
kunit.py isn't very clear that
1) it stashes a copy of the unparsed output in $BUILD_DIR/test.log
2) it sets $BUILD_DIR=.kunit by default

So it's trickier than it should be for a user to come up with the right
command to do so.

Make kunit.py print out a command for this if
a) we saw a test case crash
b) we only ran one kernel (test.log only contains output from the last)

Example suggested command:
$ scripts/decode_stacktrace.sh .kunit/vmlinux .kunit < .kunit/test.log | tee .kunit/decoded.log | ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py parse

Without debug info a user might see something like
[14:11:25] Call Trace:
[14:11:25] ? kunit_binary_assert_format (:?)
[14:11:25] kunit_try_run_case (test.c:?)
[14:11:25] ? __kthread_parkme (kthread.c:?)
[14:11:25] kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter (try-catch.c:?)
[14:11:25] ? kunit_generic_run_threadfn_adapter (try-catch.c:?)
[14:11:25] kthread (kthread.c:?)
[14:11:25] new_thread_handler (:?)
[14:11:25] [CRASHED]

`tee` is in GNU coreutils, so it seems fine to add that into the
pipeline by default, that way users can inspect the otuput in more
detail.

Note: to turn on debug info, users would need to do something like
$ echo -e 'CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y\nCONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y' >> .kunit/.kunitconfig
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py config
$ ./tools/testing/kunit/kunit.py build
$ <then run decode_stacktrace.sh now vmlinux is updated>

This feels too clunky to include in the instructions.
With --kconfig_add [1], it would become a bit less painful.
