[patch] simplify debugging in-container tests (and regular tests)


The attached patch helps you debug tests, especially in-container
tests.  Demo first...

dj@envy pts/27 ~/tools/upstream/glibc.debugtests.build
$ WAIT_FOR_DEBUGGER=1 make test t=nss/tst-nss-test3
/envy/dj/bin/make -r PARALLELMFLAGS="" -C ../glibc.debugtests objdir=`pwd` test
. . .
../scripts/evaluate-test.sh nss/tst-nss-test3 $? false false > /envy/dj/tools/upstream/glibc.debugtests.build/nss/tst-nss-test3.test-result
Waiting for debugger, test process is pid 9643
gdb -se /envy/dj/tools/upstream/glibc.debugtests.build/nss/tst-nss-test3 /envy/dj/tools/upstream/glibc.debugtests.build/nss/tst-nss-test3 9643
(gdb) set sysroot /envy/dj/tools/upstream/glibc.debugtests.build/testroot.root
(gdb) set wait_for_debugger = 0
(gdb) b do_test
(gdb) c

Then cut-n-paste those into another window...

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.
