Device under test (DUT) signal support

Registered by Andy Doan

To support things like power measurement, we need to be able to process requests from the device-under-test (DUT) and perform some action on its behalf. We are calling this "signals". The idea is that the DUT can send a signal (which will wind up being text over the serial console) that the dispatcher can handle.
