c23de0aacb support: Introduce new subdirectory for test infrastructure
The new test driver in <support/test-driver.c> has feature parity with
the old one.  The main difference is that its hooking mechanism is
based on functions and function pointers instead of macros.  This
commit also implements a new environment variable, TEST_COREDUMPS,
which disables the code which disables coredumps (that is, it enables
them if the invocation environment has not disabled them).

<test-skeleton.c> defines wrapper functions so that it is possible to
use existing macros with the new-style hook functionality.

This commit changes only a few test cases to the new test driver, to
make sure that it works as expected.

29d794863c malloc: Run fork handler as late as possible [BZ #19431]
Previously, a thread M invoking fork would acquire locks in this order:

  (M1) malloc arena locks (in the registered fork handler)
  (M2) libio list lock

A thread F invoking flush (NULL) would acquire locks in this order:

  (F1) libio list lock
  (F2) individual _IO_FILE locks

A thread G running getdelim would use this order:

  (G1) _IO_FILE lock
  (G2) malloc arena lock

After executing (M1), (F1), (G1), none of the threads can make progress.

This commit changes the fork lock order to:

  (M'1) libio list lock
  (M'2) malloc arena locks

It explicitly encodes the lock order in the implementations of fork,
and does not rely on the registration order, thus avoiding the deadlock.
