This commit adds the following features:
- Example posix drivers to support virtual time simulation, allowing tests
to run faster than real time.
- A python-based simulation driver that coordinates the virtual time
simulations. Each alarm event and message transmission across all nodes
are scheduled in a single discrete time event queue. As a result, only
a single node is making forward progress at a time.
- Updated tests to utilize new virtual-time simulator, allowing them to run
faster than real time.
- To enable virtual time feature, define VIRTUAL_TIME=1 env var and set
CPPFLAGS=-DOPENTHREAD_POSIX_VIRTUAL_TIME=1.
* Delay a random jitter period prior to request a Router ID for REED.
* Update Cert_5_1_09_REEDAttachConnectivity.py to pass Travis check.
* Add CLI to set/get the ROUTER_SELECTION_JITTER and update Certification scripts.
- add 'posix-ncp' to allow failure list in .travis.yml.
* ncp: Added spinel-cli and initial travis CI test suite integration.
This PR adds a command line tool, named spinel-cli, that converts ot-cli shell commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/cli/README.md) to spinel NCP commands (as documented in https://github.com/openthread/openthread/blob/master/src/ncp/PROTOCOL.md).
Also added is a patch to node.py that provides a way to run the existing continuous integration certification test suite against an NCP build rather than a CLI build (by prefacing the command to start the test with the environment variable setting NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim):
cd tests/scripts/thread-cert
NODE_TYPE=ncp-sim top_builddir=../../.. python Cert_5_1_02_ChildAddressTimeout.py
The power of this tool is three fold:
1) As a path to add testing of the NCP in simulation to continuous integration
2) As a path to automated testing of testbeds running NCP firmware on hardware
3) As a simple debugging tool for NCP builds of OpenThread

The tool provides three ways to connect to an NCP image:
1) pipe to stdin/stdout of a command line tool (default): -p ./ot-ncp
2) serial connection to a hardware device: -u /dev/ttyUSB0
3) socket connection to the port of a helper tool such as ncp-spi-driver: -s 1234

-s SOCKET, --socket=SOCKET
