Description

### Description

We should create a crate for Tock userspace test apps, that provides:

1. A panic handler that signals errors to opentitanlib
2. JSON transmit/receive functions for communicating with a test harness.

We can probably use [`serde-json-core`](https://github.com/rust-embedded-community/serde-json-core) to implement the JSON serialization and deserialization.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing Tock userspace test apps and the opentitanlib interfaces for panic/error signaling and test-harness communication. Review serde-json-core as the proposed JSON dependency. Done means a crate provides the panic handler plus JSON transmit and receive functions for the harness.
