[for-next][PATCH 9/9] ktest: Add a --dry-run mode

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@kernel.org>]

From: =?UTF-8?q?Ricardo=20B=2E=20Marli=C3=A8re?= <rbm@suse.com>

When working on a ktest configuration, it is often useful to inspect the
final option values after includes, defaults, per-test overrides, and
variable expansion have been applied, without actually starting a test run.

Add a --dry-run option that reads the configuration, prints the test
preamble using resolved option values, and exits before opening LOG_FILE or
executing any test logic.

This is useful for debugging ktest configurations and for scripts that need
to validate the final resolved settings without triggering side effects.
