 - test-lib: support running tests under valgrind in parallel

 - test-lib: valgrind for only tests matching a pattern
 - test-lib: verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern
 - test-lib: self-test that --verbose works
 - test-lib: rearrange start/end of test_expect_* and test_skip
 - test-lib: refactor $GIT_SKIP_TESTS matching
 - test-lib: enable MALLOC_* for the actual tests

 Allows N instances of tests run in parallel, each running 1/N parts
 of the test suite under Valgrind, to speed things up.

 The tip two may be useful in practice but is a tad ugly ;-)

 Will merge to 'next'.

Please hold off; Fredrik found an issue with the test automation that
bisects to "verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern"; when
running with the 'test' target (not with prove however), the suite
reports

  failed test(s):  

  fixed   0
  success 9788
  failed  2
  broken  69
  total   9989

Even worse, I botched a rebase that makes the commit before --
"self-test that --verbose works" untestable.  I'm pretty sure that it
has the same problem, too, though I'm still investigating the actual
issue.
