Added a test to be able to investigate problems like stated in #5103.

Problems arising with this PR can be solved with
#9211
#9595

This PRs have to be merged before this problem is solved.

Additional #8990 can be applied.

This test compares the timing between received messages with the host clock and prints when an error occured.

It is not obvious to me where you are using this, and the following three ports.

Hi @Josar, thanks for addressing the last comments.
After successful build I found another issue. "tests/01-run.py" has no executable bit set (permissions 644 instead of 755) after checking out. So, make test end up with an error.

With the last change make test is running now.

@A-Paul not on my PC. ...

If your system is executing text files regardless of the x flag, you better fix that. For your own safety.

File permissions is as expected and correct on my PC. But git was not set to inherit the file permissions when the file is checked out.

Imho none. Only that there could be some errors getting visible which are solve by the two mentioned PRs in the first post.

Or it needs a TEST_ON_CI_WHITELIST += none ?

Then it is depending on those PRs.

This somehow feels like if we can not test for an error there is no error.

No, but deactivating the tests so we can fix the errors first, seems like the wrong way around to do it. So yes, this PR is good to demonstrate there is an issue, so that the fixes you did in the related PRs are testable. But we should only merge it after those fixes are in, so we don't introduce other errors because the test is deactivated (because people might trust on it being active for their coding) ;-).
