Marc Bonnici 4a427f830b framework/execution: Move start/stop calls to the TargetManager to Runner
Instead of starting and stopping the target from inside the Context,
move the calls to the Runner. This allows for the any initilizaton
errors to be dealt with as part of the job and retried as
appropriate.

Workload Automation
+++++++++++++++++++

Workload Automation (WA) is a framework for executing workloads and collecting
measurements on Android and Linux devices. WA includes automation for nearly 50
workloads (mostly Android), some common instrumentation (ftrace, ARM
Streamline, hwmon).  A number of output formats are supported. 

Workload Automation is designed primarily as a developer tool/framework to
facilitate data driven development by providing a method of collecting
measurements from a device in a repeatable way.

Workload Automation is highly extensible. Most of the concrete functionality is
implemented via plug-ins, and  it is easy to write new plug-ins to support new
device types, workloads, instrumentation or output processing.
