lava-test-shell YAML format evolution

Registered by Senthil Kumaran S

lava-test-shell uses YAML format for test definition files. Since in future we will have modifications to this format, we need a mechanism to evolve the YAML format from one version to another, similar to how we evolve the bundle stream format.
