[LTP] thermal: add new test group

Hi!
I've been debugging the test random failures and it all boils down to
two things:

- the sysfs temperature values are in mC the increment we have is way
  too small

- we need to set the trigger value in the while(sleep_time > 0) loop
  otherwise we can end up running all the iterations with a value that
  is too high (if we enter the function when the CPU temperature was
  high)

The test runs reliably for me with -i 100 with these changes, I can push
the test with these changes added if you agree:
