Improved IRQ measurements and pushing results

The IRQ test has been reworked to increase the accuracy of the IRQ
measurements. Results can now also be pushed to a Prometheus push
gateway or to OPNFV's Xtesting. In order to do so, a new file
format.yaml has been introduced. Please use this file now to specify the
details of the PushGateway or the Xtesting server.
Added new test: increment_till_fail.test
