Alex Bennée 0395b19438 tests/acceptance: pick a random gdb port for reverse debugging
Currently the test randomly fails if you are using a shared machine
due to contention on the well known port 1234. We can ameliorate this
a bit by picking a random non-ephemeral port although it doesn't
totally avoid the problem. While we could use a totally unique socket
address for debugging it is fiddly to probe for gdb support. While gdb
socket debugging is not yet ubiquitous this a sub-optimal but workable
option.

Pavel Dovgalyuk be52eca309 tests/acceptance: add reverse debugging test
This is a test for GDB reverse debugging commands: reverse step and reverse continue.
Every test in this suite consists of two phases: record and replay.
Recording saves the execution of some instructions and makes an initial
VM snapshot to allow reverse execution.
Replay saves the order of the first instructions and then checks that they
are executed backwards in the correct order.
After that the execution is replayed to the end, and reverse continue
command is checked by setting several breakpoints, and asserting
that the execution is stopped at the last of them.
