Some tests may trigger the kernel OOM handler under conditions
which are difficult to predict (depending on available RAM and
swap space). If we can determine specific regions which might
do this and this does not contradict the test object, the
functions support_accept_oom (true) and support_accept_oom (false)
can be called at the start and end, and the test driver will
ignore SIGKILL signals.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 7061 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from math/tgmath.h,
support/tst-support-open-dev-null-range.c, and
sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/strlen-vec.S, to work around the following
obscure pre-commit check failure diagnostics from Savannah. I don't
know why I run into these diagnostics whereas others evidently do not.

This causes more test programs to link in the support_record_failure
function, which triggers an early call to mmap from an ELF
constructor, but this should not have side effects intefering
with the functionality actually under test (unlike, say, a call
to malloc).
The new functions support_record_failure records a test failure,
but does not terminate the process. The macros TEST_VERIFY
and TEST_VERIFY_EXIT check that a condition is true.
