f77c8a38be Be less clever with CHECK_ABI.
Unwind testing will make CHECK_ABI much slower. The original
ptrace-based design is some 10,000x slower. I've found an alternate
design that's a mere 1,000x slower, but this probably warrants being
more straightforward. It also removes the weirdness where NDEBUG
controlled which tests were run.

While it does mean we need to write some extra tests for p256-x86_64.pl,
we otherwise do not directly unit test our assembly anyway. Usually we
test the public crypto APIs themselves. So, for most files, this isn't
actually extra work.

54efa1afc0 Add an ABI testing framework.
Dear reader, I must apologize in advance. This CL contains the following:

- A new 256-line perlasm file with non-trivial perl bits and a dual-ABI
  variadic function caller.

- C preprocessor gymnastics, with variadic macros and fun facts about
  __VA_ARGS__'s behavior on empty argument lists.

- C++ template gymnastics, including variadic arguments, template
  specialization, std::enable_if, and machinery to control template argument
  deduction.

Enjoy.

This tests that our assembly functions correctly honor platform ABI
conventions. Right now this only tests callee-saved registers, but it should be
extendable to SEH/CFI unwind testing with single-step debugging APIs.
Register-checking does not involve anything funny and should be compatible with
SDE. (The future unwind testing is unlikely to be compatible.)

This CL adds support for x86_64 SysV and Win64 ABIs. ARM, AArch64, and x86 can
be added in the future. The testing is injected in two places. First, all the
assembly tests in p256-x86_64-test.cc are now instrumented. This is the
intended workflow and should capture all registers.

However, we currently do not unit-test our assembly much directly. We should do
that as follow-up work[0] but, in the meantime, I've also wrapped all of the GTest
main function in an ABI test. This is imperfect as ABI failures may be masked
by other stack frames, but it costs nothing[1] and is pretty reliable at
catching Win64 xmm register failures.

[0] An alternate strategy would be, in debug builds, unconditionally instrument
every assembly call in libcrypto. But the CHECK_ABI macro would be difficult to
replicate in pure C, and unwind testing may be too invasive for this. Still,
something to consider when we C++ libcrypto.

[1] When single-stepped unwind testing exists, it won't cost nothing. The
gtest_main.cc call will turn unwind testing off.
