Use `test_utils_interactive_sync` for the following tests explicitly:
- tests/periph/timer_periodic
- tests/sys/posix_sleep
This is needed for accurate timestamping of the stdio received. The
tests will not pass without on `native` / `native64`.

gnrc_tcp_open() previously would eventually fail with a timeout without
sending any data when no netif was specified and a link-local target
address was used. This fixes the behavior:
- If there is only one netif, we just pick that
- If there are multiple netifs, fail directly with `-EINVAL` rather than
sending out nothing and waiting for a timeout.

This increases the robustness of the test by not relying on the
order shell commands are printed in. At least for XFA based shell
commands, there is no guarantee in which order they will be shown in
the help.
This command does the same as `help`, but provides a machine readable
JSON rather than a human readable table. It is only provided when the
(pseudo-)module `shell_builtin_cmd_help_json` is used.
The test following test is flaky:
TEST_ASSERT(msg->send_time > 0U);
It assumes that 0 as time is indicating the time is invalid. But on
`native`, the time will be zero for the first millisecond the test
is launched. Before the interactive sync caused seemingly a reliable
delay of at least one milli second, but this no longer is the case.
This works around the bug by just waiting at the start of the test
until the time is no longer zero, possibly spinning for one millisecond.
The aim is to allow faster test cycles on native for unit test style
apps (that don't need interaction) by bypassing the python test
framework using e.g.:
make RIOT_TERMINAL=native all term
This would work already before, but now is more convenient as no
manual press of the `s` key is needed to start the test.
For non-native boards we need the sync, as otherwise the board may
finish booting before the python test automation framework can capture
output. For `native` and `native64`, we actually control when the RIOT
app is started and do not need to sync.
On a typical machine this can reduce the test cycle by more than 4
seconds.

This changes the API of xfa from
XFA(array_name, prio) type element_name = INITIALIZER;
to
XFA(type, array_name, prio) element_name = INITIALIZER;
this allows forcing natural alignment of the type, fixing failing tests
on `native64`.
