  -----------
  tests: Add support for helgrind thread error detector.

Helgrind is a Valgrind tool for detecting thread errors, reporting three
classes of errors: misuses of the POSIX pthreads API, potential deadlocks
arising from lock ordering problems, and data races -- accessing memory
without adequate locking.  Similar to valgrind, users do "make check-helgrind"
and results will be saved at tests/testsuite.dir/<N>/helgrind.*.
