[Bug default/19082] New: Make abipkgdiff recognize suppression specifications to apply to comparisons

[Ondrej Oprala]

Hey, here's my take on this issue.
I went a little nuts with testing, but I guess it can't hurt ;).

minor patch comment:
I realize taking suppression_paths out of opts isn't very forward-looking
if we're gonna roll in with pthreads soon, but it makes sense for this patch
and I didn't want to feed every function with every single local object 
(yet).
