Summary: Test failures on mingw build

Initial Comment:
Platform: Win2k
Compiler: mingw gcc
Configuration options: --enable-symbols --enable-threads

With the above configuration, the following error occurs
when running make TESTFLAGS='-singleproc 1' test.
Without the '-singleproc 1' option, every test file
fails with a verbose error message because of this
bug.

The test works correctly under 8.4 (tip of branch)
or under VC++ - the problem is specific to mingw
and 8.5.

As the tcltest maintainer, I'd like to review patches.

Message:
Modified tcltest.tcl in all branches such that it no
longer transfers default configuration arguments
to its sub-processes. This is the simplest fix, to make
at least tcltest work in all situations, no matter
how tclsh/tcltest expands its arguments.

It's an improvement which doesn't hurt: It only
modifies the command line arguments used
between the main tcltest process and its
sub-processes, it's not visible outside.

Why does this bug involve changes to
the tcltest package?

Message:
Since a few years, mingw-w64 is available, which does the
command line parsing correctly, So I would like to
finally get rid of the setargv function: This should not
be Tcl's responsibility. Working on that.

mingw runtime still needs the old 'setargv' function that
was removed back in February.  I put it back, conditioned on
#if defined( __GNUC__ )
