[functional][u][rpi][epic] Add support for real systems without IPMI or KVM-IP in openQA/os-autoinst

Description
The goal of this ticket is to track progress of the support of real systems without IPMI or KVM-IP, in openQA/os-autoinst, such as Raspberry Pi boards and other ARM boards.
We need to:
- Power ON/OFF the board (already supported by the
generalhw backend, we just need hardware and scripts) Done
- Flash the board (use another board with USB mass storage gadget to emulate a USB disk or use a USB switch to share a USB stick across hosts) Done
- Use SSH consoles instead of VNC Done
- Use real serial connection (optional, but useful before ssh is available) Done
The generalhw backend is designed for real systems connected to kvm-ip (keyboard, video, mouse over IP) systems with VNC support.
So, we could reuse this backend and make the VNC part optional and switch to SSH and serial consoles.

Ok, above problems are now fixed.
Time for deeper tests.
Sometimes tests are failing with:

It seems that some processes (ssh connection? local Xvnc? ...?) are exiting unexpectedly.

Great plan, thanks for working on it :).
Here is my current setup working properly so far (this is not from a full openQA setup, but I run manually isotovideo from worker machine):
We could merge worker and flasher if we find an aarch64 machine with a working OTG port.

- Blocks action #61801: [opensuse][aarch64] Tests to run on aarch64 real hardware (RPi3/4) added
It should be ok now.
Hardware need to be added to o3.

Here is an updated version where SUT serial is connected to flasher instead of openQA worker.
It requires:
- Status changed from In Progress to Resolved
- Tracker changed from action to coordination
