Always run fixture setup in the grandchild process, and by default also
run the teardown in the same process.  However, this change makes it
possible to run the teardown in a parent process when
_metadata->teardown_parent is set to true (e.g. in fixture setup).

Fix TEST_SIGNAL() by forwarding grandchild's signal to its parent.  Fix
seccomp tests by running the test setup in the parent of the test
thread, as expected by the related test code.  Fix Landlock tests by
waiting for the grandchild before processing _metadata.

Use of exit(3) in tests should be OK because the environment in which
the vfork(2) call happen is already dedicated to the running test (with
flushed stdio, setpgrp() call), see __run_test() and the call to fork(2)
just before running the setup/test/teardown.  Even if the test
configures its own exit handlers, they will not be run by the parent
because it never calls exit(3), and the test function either ends with a
call to _exit(2) or a signal.

Sanity-check run of seccomp tests before:

# # Totals: pass:70 fail:21 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:5 error:0

After:

# # Totals: pass:91 fail:0 xfail:0 xpass:0 skip:5 error:0
