TestSupport: introduce hostprop_putative_record

This is used to store tentative host properties in the runvars of a
job, with the expectation that at some point (ie: at the end of the
job) they will be turned into real properties stored in the database.

Changes since v2:
 - Use the following runvar format to store the putative host props:
   hostprop/$ident/$prop=$val.
