Invoking run_tests.sh without the -g parameter will by default run all of
the tests for a given architecture. This patch series will add a test which
has the ability to bring down the host and thus it might be nice if we
double check that the user actually wants to run that test instead of
them unknowingly bringing down a machine they might not want to.
In order to do this add the option for a tests' group parameter in
unittests.cfg to include "nodefault" on order to indicate that it shouldn't
be run be default.
When tests are invoked via run_tests.sh those with the nodefault group
parameter will be skipped unless explicitly specified by the "-g" command
line option. When tests with the nodefault group parameter are built and
run standalone the user will be prompted on invocation to confirm that
they actually want to run the test.
This allows a developer to mark a test as having potentially adverse
effects and thus requires an extra level of confirmation from the user
before they are invoked. Existing functionality will be preserved and new
tests can choose any group other than "nodefault" if they want to be run
by default.

- Remove superfluous "STANDALONE=yes"
