testutils/iotlab.py: Randomize the selected node

It seems there have been some failures mainly
due to infrastructure. Specifically the samr21-xpro
failing to flash will cause many reruns with the same
faulty hardware.

Previously it would just take the first available
node in the list, which is deterministic but doesn't
help with flakey test reruns. This may cause an issue
with distance to other nodes, but if random selection
of nodes becomes a problem we would have to introduce
node pairing lists... Which is a bit more work.

This is at least a first step.
