refactor(build): python generate_test_list script
This change introduces generate_test_list.py which is exactly like
generate_test_list.pl except written in python. This helps remove a
dependency on perl as well as a dependency on perl's libxml bindings.
The only required dependency is python3 and its standard library.
Tested by generating tests_list.c/h for each xml file and each platform
and comparing it against the output from the original script.
