* Improve ping reliability by making it fully async. Eliminate 5_1_07 from XFAIL list.
* Some non-core changes: readd missing StreamSocket class, improve handling of command.
* Update default "CACHE_ENTRIES" and "MAX_CHILDREN" to support required minimum children.
* Update Cert_5_1_07_MaxChildCount.py due to maximum children number change.
* 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

-u UART, --uart=UART

-s SOCKET, --socket=SOCKET

* travis: Do a `make distcheck` instead of just `make check`
Doing a `make distcheck` instead of just a `make check` ensures that
the build system is sane and that the results from `make dist` have
everything needed.
* build-system: Fixes for `make distcheck`
This commit fixes the `distcheck` target by addressing the following
issues:
* Repaired ability to perform builds when the build directory is not
the source directory.
* Addressed an issue with the tarball name that occurs the very
first time `make` is run.
