tests/avocado: Re-enable gdbsim-r5f562n8 testing U-Boot

We disabled all RX tests on commit 9b45cc9931 ("docs/devel:
rationalise unstable gitlab tests under FLAKY_TESTS") for
being flaky. However I don't recall the U-Boot test to fail
(the problematic line checking the 'version' string is already
commented out), and I'm running this test reliably, so re-enable
it.

gitlab: add optional job to run flaky avocado tests

One problem with flaky tests is they often only fail under CI
conditions which makes it hard to debug. We add an optional allow_fail
job so developers can trigger the only the flaky tests in the CI
environment if they are debugging.

docs/devel: rationalise unstable gitlab tests under FLAKY_TESTS

It doesn't make sense to have two classes of flaky tests. While it may
take the constrained environment of CI to trigger failures easily it
doesn't mean they don't occasionally happen on developer machines. As
CI is the gating factor to passing there is no point developers
running the tests locally anyway unless they are trying to fix things.

While we are at it update the language in the docs to discourage the
QEMU_TEST_FLAKY_TESTS becoming a permanent solution.

tests/avocado: Rename avocado_qemu.Test -> QemuSystemTest

To run user-mode emulation tests, we introduced the
avocado_qemu.QemuUserTest which inherits from avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest.
System-mode emulation tests are based on the avocado_qemu.Test class,
which also inherits avocado_qemu.QemuBaseTest. To avoid confusion,
rename it as avocado_qemu.QemuSystemTest.

tests/acceptance: rename tests acceptance to tests avocado

In the discussion about renaming the `tests/acceptance` [1], the
conclusion was that the folders inside `tests` are related to the
framework running the tests and not directly related to the type of
the tests.

This changes the folder to `tests/avocado` and adjusts the MAKEFILE, the
CI related files and the documentation.
