Introduce an in-kernel test module to validate the core logic of the
Live Update Orchestrator's File-Lifecycle-Bound feature. This
provides a low-level, controlled environment to test FLB registration
and callback invocation without requiring userspace interaction or
actual kexec reboots.

The test is enabled by the CONFIG_LIVEUPDATE_TEST Kconfig option.

Do it mean that every flb user will be added here?

No, FLB users will use:

liveupdate_register_flb() from various subsystems. This
liveupdate_test_register() is only to allow kernel test to register
test-FLBs to every single file-handler for in-kernel testing purpose
only.
