RTL may disarm the vehicle on completion. We RTL at several times in
the testing, and the subsequent tests were not rearming. This means we
had a race condition.
We now explicitly wait to be disarmed by the RTL mode, and rearm the
vehicle.
This is an interim patch until we decide whether to make each "test"
self-contained, and have a precondition of "on ground and disarmed".
If any of the tests throws an exception, it will be caught by the generic test function
that collects all errors and displays them before passing the result to the vehicle testcode.
Hence the name of the test and the exception that got raised get printed in a single
location. This nicely reduces code duplication.
This function is called from every vehicle to run a test. If any of the tests throws an exception, it will be caught here, and the name of the test and the exception that got raised will be added to the fail_list
Three of our models start a SITL instance to apply parameters
then restart it so that the parameter changes can take effect.
Factor that functionality out.
