Adds the concept of spying like in Mockito (http://static.javadoc.io/org.mockito/mockito-core/2.20.0/org/mockito/Mockito...). This allows a function declaration to be labled as spyable which allows the function to be mocked *and* to allow the mock to invoke the original function definition.

We can already hook into arbitrary functions ftrace. Wouldn't utilizing that simplify features like this and avoid having to touch existing code for testing? Not sure what it would take to enable ftrace on UML. It is at least partially compiler dependent.
