libkmod-config: more chars allowed as space

Recently in a discussion I noticed that kernel allows more chars to be
considered as space in the kernel command line. Switch to the equivalent
of isspace() instead of considering only ' '.

test-modprobe: share single function for kcmdline tests

testsuite: allow to re-use single function for tests

Add a new DEFINE_TEST_WITH_FUNC() that accepts the function
alongside the test name. This will allow us to share a single function
for different tests.

libkmod-config: re-quote option from kernel cmdline

It was reported that grub mangles the kernel cmdline. It turns

 acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg="file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

 into

 "acpi_cpufreq.dyndbg=file drivers/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.c +mpf"

However, even though we could blame grub for doing that, the kernel
happily accepts and re-quotes it when the module is built-in.
So, it's better if kmod also understands it this way and does the same.

Here we basically add additional code to un-mangle it, moving the quote
in way that is acceptable to pass through init_module(). Note that the
interface [f]init_module() gives us mandates the quote to be part of the
value: the module name is not passed and the options are separated by
space.

libkmod-config: revamp kcmdline parsing into a state machine

The handling of spaces and quotes is becoming hard to maintain. Convert
the parser into a state machine so we can check all the states. This
should make it easier to fix a corner case we have right now:
The kernel also accepts a quote before the module name instead of the
value. But this additional is left for later. This is purely an
algorithm change with no behavior change.

testsuite: compress modules if feature is enabled

Since the output needs to be the same, regardless if the module is
compressed, change populate-modules.sh to conditionally compress the
module if that feature is enabled.

This way we can execute the tests with any build-time configuration and
it should still pass.

populate-modules: Use more bash, more quotes

We're already using associatives arrays, so there's no reason we should
be using 'test'.

README: make github mirror official

For some time I've been maintaining a read-only mirror on github.
I think it's time to allow patches flowing from there besides the
mailing list: I created a new org to host the project:
