Add support for pre/post unit test run scripts

 - Added support for `ARDUINO_CI_UNIT_TEST_EXTRA_COMPILER_FLAGS` environment variable.
 - Added support for overriding the shell used to execute `CUSTOM_INIT_SCRIPT`
   by setting `CUSTOM_INIT_SCRIPT_SHELL` (defaults to `/bin/sh`).
+- Added support running scripts before and/or after each run of unit tests with
+  `ARDUINO_CI_PRE_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT` and `ARDUINO_CI_POST_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT`.
 
 ### Changed
 - We now compile a shared library to be used for each test.

+### `ARDUINO_CI_PRE_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT` and `ARDUINO_CI_POST_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT` environment variables
+
+If set, the corresponding script will be run before/after each run of unit tests
+for each configured platform and for each compiler, e.g. if `.arduino-ci.yaml`
+contains
+
+```yaml
+unittest:
+  compilers:
+    - g++-10
+    - g++-11
+  libraries: ~
+  platforms:
+    - leonardo
+    - uno
+```
+
+the scripts will be invoked four times, with the current platform name being
+tested as the first parameter to the script and the current compiler used as
+the second parameter. It is not necessary to define both PRE and POST script;
+if you only want to run something before or after unit tests that's fine.
+By default the scripts are executed by `/bin/sh`, you can override by setting
+`ARDUINO_CI_PRE_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT_SHELL` and
+`ARDUINO_CI_POST_UNIT_TEST_RUN_SCRIPT_SHELL` respectively.

 ### `USE_SUBDIR` environment variable
 
 If set, testing will be conducted in this subdirectory (relative to the working directory).  This is for monorepos or other layouts where the library directory and project root directory are different.
