Simon Marchi 1526853e34 Add selftests run filtering
With the growing number of selftests, I think it would be useful to be
able to run only a subset of the tests.  This patch associates a name to
each registered selftest.  It then allows doing something like:

  (gdb) maintenance selftest aarch64
  Running self-tests.
  Running selftest aarch64-analyze-prologue.
  Running selftest aarch64-process-record.
  Ran 2 unit tests, 0 failed

or with gdbserver:

  ./gdbserver --selftest=aarch64

In both cases, only the tests that contain "aarch64" in their name are
ran.  To help validate that the tests you want to run were actually ran,
it also prints a message with the test name before running each test.

Right now, all the arch-dependent tests are registered as a single test
of the selftests.  To be able to filter those too, I made them
"first-class citizen" selftests.  The selftest type is an interface,
with different implementations for "simple selftests" and "arch
selftests".  The run_tests function simply iterates on that an invokes
operator() on each test.

I changed the tests data structure from a vector to a map, because

  - it allows iterating in a stable (alphabetical) order
  - it allows to easily verify if a test with a given name has been
    registered, to avoid duplicates

There's also a new command "maintenance info selftests" that lists the
registered selftests.
