[RFC PATCH 0/4] test-tool: add unit test suite runner

[Josh Steadmon <steadmon@google.com>]

For various reasons (see discussion at [1]) we would like an alternative
to `prove` for running test suites (including the unit tests) on
Windows.

This series extends the existing `test-tool run-command testsuite` to
support running unit tests. In addition, it includes some small
cleanups: we move t-basic out of the unit-tests directory, and add a
test wrapper script to allow unit tests and the shell test suite to run
in a single `prove` process.

Some known remaining bits of work:
* We need to filter out cmake *.pdb files when running with `test-tool`.
* We should investigate switching the Windows CI to use `test-tool`
  instead of prove.
* We should determine whether it is confusing or otherwise harmful to
  people's workflow to have the unit tests run in parallel with shell
  tests when using prove as the default test target.
