[Toybox] modinfo test

Here's a test for modinfo; it expects ne2k-pci and 8390 to be modules.
I chose those as lower-churn modules that are likely for VMs...
If /proc/modules is absent, the test is skipped.

(In the process of writing the tests, I discovered that busybox has some
incompatabilities, like the 1-module limit, not giving a full pathname 
for filename, mis-handling the -/_ mess, and outputting "filename:
<arg>.ko if a module isn't found.)

Additionally, I have a patch for modinfo, which will add support for
multiple modules at virtually no cost.

# modinfo does not need to output fields in a specified order.
# Instead, there are labelled fields.  We can use sort to make up for this.
# Other issues to beware of are the volatile nature of srcversion and vermagic,
# which change from kernel to kernel and can be disabled. 
# We grep to remove these.

#We expect they have ne2k-pci as a module.
