In some cases, we need to check if the testing environment is satisfied
to run a certain testcase. The testcase only will be executed If some
specific hardware is present on box. The patches add a optional check
function support.

For example: a testcase named testa.py with testa_check() defined in
this file. The framework will run test_check(params) first, return 0
means pass, 1 means failure. If the check function failed. the testa(params)
will not be run. "Skip" is marked in output.

# testa.py
required_params = ()
optional_params = ('options')

def testa_check(params):
    logger = params['logger']
    logger.info("I am from testa_check")
    return 1

def testa(params):
    logger = params['logger']
    logger.info("I am from testa")
    return 1


The Output:
