RIOT's new test system: coverage matrix for core and sys

This page gives an overview of the test coverage of RIOT's core and sys modules. The shorthands used in the tables are defined as follows:

Shorthand	Meaning	Comment
I	Implemented	tests fully implemented
M	Missing	tests should be implemented but aren't
N/A	Not Applicable	this kind of test doesn't make sense for this module
partial	Only partially tested	only a subset of all API functions are tested using this method
indirect	Tested indirectly by other tests	other tests wouldn't run correctly if this module would fail
