parentktest: Add USE_OUTPUT_MIN_CONFIG to avoid prompt on make_min_config (diff)

ktest: Add useful example configs
I've been asked several times to provide more useful example configs for ktest.pl, as the sample.conf is too complex (because it explains all configs). This adds configs broken up by use case, and these configs are based on actual configs that I use on a daily basis. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

+RUN_TEST := ${SSH} hackbench 50

+# This can be build, boot, or test. Here we are doing a bisect
+# that requires to run a test to know if the bisect was good or bad.

+# It is usually a good idea to confirm that the GOOD and the BAD
+# commits are truly good and bad respectively. Having BISECT_CHECK
+# set to 1 will check both that the good commit works and the bad
+# commit fails. If you only want to check one or the other,
+# set BISECT_CHECK to 'good' or to 'bad'.
+BISECT_CHECK = 1
+#BISECT_CHECK = good
+#BISECT_CHECK = bad
+
+# Usually it's a good idea to specify the exact config you
+# want to use throughout the entire bisect. Here we placed
+# it in the directory we called ktest.pl from and named it
+# 'config-bisect'.
+MIN_CONFIG = ${THIS_DIR}/config-bisect
+# By default, if we are doing a BISECT_TYPE = test run but the
+# build or boot fails, ktest.pl will do a 'git bisect skip'.
+# Uncomment the below option to make ktest stop testing on such
+# an error.
+#BISECT_SKIP = 0
+# Now if you had BISECT_SKIP = 0 and the test fails, you can
+# examine what happened and then do 'git bisect log > /tmp/replay'
+# Set BISECT_REPLAY to /tmp/replay and ktest.pl will run the
+# 'git bisect replay /tmp/replay' before continuing the bisect test.
+#BISECT_REPLAY = /tmp/replay
+# If you used BISECT_REPLAY after the bisect test failed, you may
+# not want to continue the bisect on that commit that failed.
+# By setting BISECT_START to a new commit. ktest.pl will checkout
+# that commit after it has performed the 'git bisect replay' but
+# before it continues running the bisect test.
+#BISECT_START = 2545eb6198e7e1ec50daa0cfc64a4cdfecf24ec9
+
+# Now if you don't trust ktest.pl to make the decisions for you, then
+# set BISECT_MANUAL to 1. This will cause ktest.pl not to decide
+# if the commit was good or bad. Instead, it will ask you to tell
+# it if the current commit was good. In the mean time, you could
+# take the result, load it on any machine you want. Run several tests,
+# or whatever you feel like. Then, when you are happy, you can tell
+# ktest if you think it was good or not and ktest.pl will continue
+# the git bisect. You can even change what commit it is currently at.
+#BISECT_MANUAL = 1
+
+
+# One of the unique tests that ktest does is the config bisect.
+# Currently (which hopefully will be fixed soon), the bad config
+# must be a superset of the good config. This is because it only
+# searches for a config that causes the target to fail. If the
+# good config is not a subset of the bad config, or if the target
+# fails because of a lack of a config, then it will not find
+# the config for you.
