[tools] Make killing of processes more robust

We spawn individual tests in their own shell, and then just kill that
shell later. This often leaves the tests running (see linked bugs).
By spawning the shell in its own new process group, we can just kill
that whole process group later, which seems to work reliably for hanging
tests.
