Junjie Mao ce6500893f board_inspector: use executables found under system paths
Using partial executable paths in the board inspector may cause unintended
results when another executable has the same name and is also detectable in
the search paths.

Introduce a wrapper module (`external_tools`) which locates executables
only under system paths such as /usr/bin and /usr/sbin and converts partial
executable paths to absolute ones before executing them via the subprocess
module. All invocations to `subprocess.run` or `subprocess.Popen`
throughout the board inspector are replaced with `external_tools.run`, with
the only exception being the invocation to the legacy board parser which
already uses an absolute path to the current Python interpreter.

board_parser.py will collect all board related info and then generate a board info file for acrn-config host tool usage.

usage: python3 board_inspector.py <board_name> [--out board_info_file]

board_name : the name of board that run ACRN hypervisor, like apl-up2/nuc7i7dnb. It will be used as name of the board configurations folder which created by acrn-config host tool.
board_info_file : (optional) the name of board info file. if it is not specified, a name of <board_name>.xml will be generated under the current working directory by default.

Please run this script under native Linux environment with root privilege.

OS requirement:
	Release:	Ubuntu 18.04+
	Tools:		cpuid, rdmsr, lspci, lxml, dmidecode (optional)
	kernel cmdline: "iomem=relaxed intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstate=disable" or
			"idle=nomwait iomem=relaxed intel_idle.max_cstate=0 intel_pstate=disable" for Apollo Lake
