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.

+This subdirectory contains infrastructure which is not put into
+installed libraries, but may be linked into programs (installed or
+not) and tests.
+
+# Error-checking wrappers
+
+These wrappers test for error return codes an terminate the process on
+error.  They are declared in these header files:
+
+* support.h
+* xsignal.h
+* xthread.h
+
+In general, new wrappers should be added to support.h if possible.
+However, support.h must remain fully compatible with C90 and therefore
+cannot include headers which use identifers not reserved in C90.  If
+the wrappers need additional types, additional headers such as
+signal.h need to be introduced.
+
+# Test framework
+
+The test framework provides a main program for tests, including a
+timeout for hanging tests.  See README-testing.c for a minimal
+example, and test-driver.c for details how to use it.  The following
+header files provide related declarations:
+
+* check.h
+* temp_file.h
+* test-driver.h

+/* This file should be included from test cases.  It will define a
+   main function which provides the test wrapper.
+
+   It assumes that the test case defines a function
+
+     int do_test (void);
+
+   and arranges for that function being called under the test wrapper.
+   The do_test function should return 0 to indicate a passing test, 1
+   to indicate a failing test, or 77 to indicate an unsupported test.
+   Other result values could be used to indicate a failing test, but
+   the result of the expression is passed to exit and exit only
+   returns the lower 8 bits of its input.  A non-zero return with some
+   values could cause a test to incorrectly be considered passing when
+   it really failed.  For this reason, the function should always
+   return 0 (EXIT_SUCCESS), 1 (EXIT_FAILURE), or 77
+   (EXIT_UNSUPPORTED).
+
+   The test function may print out diagnostic or warning messages as well
+   as messages about failures.  These messages should be printed to stdout
+   and not stderr so that the output is properly ordered with respect to
+   the rest of the glibc testsuite run output.
+
+   Several preprocessors macros can be defined before including this
+   file.
+
+   The name of the do_test function can be changed with the
+   TEST_FUNCTION macro.  It must expand to the desired function name.
+
+   If the test case needs access to command line parameters, it must
+   define the TEST_FUNCTION_ARGV macro with the name of the test
+   function.  It must have the following type:
+
+     int TEST_FUNCTION_ARGV (int argc, char **argv);
+
+   This overrides the do_test default function and is incompatible
+   with the TEST_FUNCTION macro.
+
+   If PREPARE is defined, it must expand to the name of a function of
+   the type
+
+     void PREPARE (int argc, char **);
+
+   This function will be called early, after parsing the command line,
+   but before running the test, in the parent process which acts as
+   the test supervisor.
+
+   If CLEANUP_HANDLER is defined, it must expand to the name of a
+   function of the type
+
+     void CLEANUP_HANDLER (void);
+
+   This function will be called from the timeout (SIGALRM) signal
+   handler.
+
+   If EXPECTED_SIGNAL is defined, it must expanded to a constant which
+   denotes the expected signal number.
+
+   If EXPECTED_STATUS is defined, it must expand to the expected exit
+   status.
+
+   If TIMEOUT is defined, it must be positive constant.  It overrides
+   the default test timeout and is measured in seconds.
+
+   If TEST_NO_MALLOPT is defined, the test wrapper will not call
+   mallopt.
+
+   Custom command line handling can be implemented by defining the
+   CMDLINE_OPTION macro (after including the <getopt.h> header; this
+   requires _GNU_SOURCE to be defined).  This macro must expand to a
+   to a comma-separated list of braced initializers for struct option
+   from <getopt.h>, with a trailing comma.  CMDLINE_PROCESS can be
+   defined as the name of a function which is called to process these
+   options.  The function is passed the option character/number and
+   has this type:
+
+     void CMDLINE_PROCESS (int);

-/* The test function is normally called `do_test' and it is called
-   with argc and argv as the arguments.  We nevertheless provide the

-
-   The TEST_FUNCTION expression should have a type of 'int' and should
-   return 0 to indicate a passing test, 1 to indicate a failing test,
-   or 77 to indicate an unsupported test.  Other result values could be
-   used to indicate a failing test, but the result of the expression
-   is passed to exit and exit only returns the lower 8 bits of its input.
-   A non-zero return with some values could cause a test to incorrectly
-   be considered passing when it really failed. For this reason the
-   expression should always return 0, 1, or 77.
-
-   The test function may print out diagnostic or warning messages as well
-   as messages about failures.  These messages should be printed to stdout
-   and not stderr so that the output is properly ordered with respect to
