Keith Seitz d8b79a1f24 gdb testsuite: Introduce allow_fork_tests and use it throughout
Cygwin debugging does not support follow fork.  There is currently no
interface between the debugger and the Cygwin runtime to be able to
intercept forks and execs.  Consequently, testcases that try to
exercise fork/exec all FAIL, and several hit long cascading timeouts.

Add a new allow_fork_tests procedure, meant be be used with require,
and sprinkle it throughout testcases that exercise fork.

Note that some tests currently are skipped on targets other than
Linux, with something like:

 # Until "set follow-fork-mode" and "catch vfork" are implemented on
 # other targets...
 #
 if {![istarget "*-linux*"]} {
     continue
 }

However, some BSD ports also support fork debugging nowadays, and the
testcases were never adjusted...  That is why the new allow_fork_tests
procedure doesn't look for linux.

With this patch, on Cygwin, I get this:

 $ make check TESTS="*/*fork*.exp"

# When we intercept a fork/vfork with a catchpoint, the child is left
# stopped. At that point, if we kill the parent, we should kill the
# child as well. This test makes sure that works. See PR gdb/19494.
# The main idea of the test is make sure that when the program stops
# for a fork catchpoint, and the user kills the parent, gdb also kills
# the unfollowed fork child. Since the child hasn't been added as an
# inferior at that point, we need some other portable way to detect
# that the child is gone. The test uses a pipe for that. The program
# forks twice, so you have grandparent, child and grandchild. The
# grandchild inherits the write side of the pipe. The grandparent
# hangs reading from the pipe, since nothing ever writes to it. If,
# when GDB kills the child, it also kills the grandchild, then the
# grandparent's pipe read returns 0/EOF and the test passes.
# Otherwise, if GDB doesn't kill the grandchild, then the pipe read
# never returns and the test times out.
