Description

If you add the following to a test package:

pkg.lflags:
    - "-foo"

and then test the package with `newt test`, the flag does not get passed to gcc during linking.

Newt currently only reads lflags from the following package types:

• target
• app
• bsp
• compiler

At the very least, the test package's lflags should be used when a unit test is linked via newt test. Alternatively, it may make more sense to gather the lflags from all constituent packages during the link phase.
