target: Implement target runner classes

Add support for launching emulated targets on QEMU. The base class
``TargetRunner`` has groundwork for target runners like
``QEMUTargetRunner``.

``TargetRunner`` is a contextmanager which starts runner process (e.g.,
QEMU), makes sure the target is accessible over SSH (if
``connect=True``), and terminates the runner process once it's done.

The other newly introduced ``QEMUTargetRunner`` class:
- performs sanity checks to ensure QEMU executable, kernel, and initrd
  images exist,
- builds QEMU parameters properly,
- creates ``Target`` object,
- and lets ``TargetRunner`` manage the QEMU instance.

Also add a new test case in ``tests/test_target.py`` to ensure devlib
can run a QEMU target and execute some basic commands on it.

While we are in neighborhood, fix a typo in ``Target.setup()``.
