selftests/hid: sync python tests to hid-tools 0.10

hid-tools 0.10 fixes one inconvenience introduced by
commit 6a9e76f75c1a ("HID: multitouch: Disable touchpad
on firmware level while not in use")

This change added a new callback when a hid-nultitouch device is opened
or closed to put the underlying device into a given operating mode.
However, in the test cases, that means that while the single threaded
test is run, it opens the device but has to react to the device while
the open() is still running. hid-tools now implements a minimal thread
to circumvent this.

This makes the HID kernel tests in sync with hid-tools 0.10.

This has the net effect of running the full HID python testsuite in 6
minutes instead of 1 hour.
