Improve unit test and fuzzer documentation story
* Update **test** directory description to README.md. * Add ** fuzz** directory description to README.md. * Add unit test and fuzzer make targets to `make help` * Change showboards to print-boards to be more consistent * Change showboards to use auto pretty print * Add print-tests, print-host-tests, and print-host-fuzzers This is necessary to remove the ambiguity about what a special name is for a given unit test. Documentation Story: The idea is to give a brief overview of what the test and fuzz directories are in README.md. README.md also mentions you should see `make help` for more detail. Running `make help` shows you more general test/fuzz commands, including the print-* commands. Running the print-* commands show you exact target names for all possible unit/fuzz test (both the build-only and run target names).

**util** - Host utilities and scripts for flashing the EC. Also includes
“ectool” used to query and send commands to the EC from userspace.
-**test** - Unit tests for the EC. Use “make tests -j $jobs BOARD=$board” to run
-them against your build target. Set $jobs to the number of cores in your build
-machine. Please contribute new tests if writing new functionality.
+**test** - Unit tests for EC components. These can be run locally in
+ a mock "host" environment or compiled for a target board.
+ If building for a target board, the test must be flashed and
+ run manually on the device.
+ All unit tests and fuzzers are build/run using the local
+ host environment during a `buildall`.
+ To run all unit tests locally, run `make runhosttests -j`.
+ To build a specific unit test for a specific board, run
+ `make test-<test_name> BOARD=<board_name>`.
+ Please contribute new tests if writing new functionality.
+ Please run `make help` for more detail.

+**fuzz** - Fuzzers for EC components. These fuzzers are expected to
+ run in the mock host environment. They follow the same rules
+ as unit tests, as thus use the same commands to build and run.
