[patch v1] debugging tests


This bit of code tells the test cases to pause just before do_test()
is called, and wait for gdb to attach to it and clear the
wait_for_debugger variable.  There's some extra code to get the
correct pid when the test runs in a container, and some info you can
cut-n-paste into gdb to get the paths et al correct.

With the onetest patch, it looks like this:

$ WAIT_FOR_DEBUGGER=1 make test t=nss/tst-nss-test3

Then in another window you run the gdb command line it prints, and
paste in the recommended gdb commands.

Subject: Add wait-for-debugger test harness hooks

If WAIT_FOR_DEBUGGER is set in the environment, any test that
runs will print some useful gdb information and wait for gdb
to attach to it and clear the "wait_for_debugger" variable.
