We used to require updates to mgmt-tester but it seems some of recent
command did not have a test yet, but if we intend to have the CI to
tests the kernel changes properly I think we should start to requiring
it some basic testing, obviously it will be hard to cover everything
that is affected by a new command but the basic formatting, etc, we
should be able to test, also tester supports the concept of 'not run'
which we can probably use for experimental commands.
