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.

ACRN Tools
##########

The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and
an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on
a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a
reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the
"ACRN Device Model".

This folder holds the source to a number of tools that facilitate the
management, debugging, profiling, and logging of multi-OS systems based on
ACRN.

You can find out more about Project ACRN and its set of tools on the
`Project ACRN documentation`_ website.
