They were actually failing because of a platform bug (HUP not
propperly being processed on FreeBSD). This has been fixed in
e698e32d999e39 and so we now re-enable these tests.
Also now permit interactivly running tests without explicitly setting
$srcdir. This now works if we are inside ./tests and fails, as before,
when we are in a different directory.

Merging in multiple steps to avoid getting new tests with non-correct
plumbing.
- some more dynamic file names
- convert more commands to pure bash functions
- cleanup no longer neede files
changes some of the test commands to use bash functions
includes some small bug fixes to tests where bugs were
previously not seen due to different plumbing.
Also a couple of changes to testbench worth mentioning:
* use cp -f to ensure files can be overwirtten in VBUILD
* fix issue of missing include test file in EXTRA_DIST
* new supressions
* testbench: try to use local system dependency cache
avoid going to Internet repos if not absolutely necessary. For
development containers, they should be pre-populated with the
important dependencies.
* do not enable libfaketime if ASAN is selected
unfortunately, libfaketime does not work in that case

- vg-test caught a minor issue in impstats (fixed)
- placeholder created for other dynstats tests
- a new assertion in diag.sh which allows extracting a particular column and expecting sum-up to match given value
- imdiag supports injecting litteral messages now (test can send a fully formed syslog message through imdiag, its a backward compatible change in protocol, allows for richer things to be build while being fully backward compatible)
