scripts: runner: generalize commands to "capabilities"
Some configuration options or device tree nodes affect the way that
runners ought to behave, but there's no good way for them to report
whether they can handle them.
One motivating example is CONFIG_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET, as influenced by
the zephyr,code-partition chosen node in the DT for architectures
where CONFIG_HAS_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET=y.
If CONFIG_FLASH_LOAD_OFFSET is nonzero, the 'flash' command ought to
place the kernel at that address offset from the device flash's start
address. Runners don't support this right now, which should be
fixed. However, we don't want to mandate support for this feature,
since not all targets need it.
We need to let runners declare what their capabilities are. Make it so
by adding a RunnerCaps class to the runner core. This currently just
states which commands a runner can handle, but can be generalized to
implement the above use case.
