[Valgrind-developers] [PATCH] lib: tst_test: Add reproducible output.

[Cyril H. <ch...@su...>]

This commit adds an environment variable LTP_REPRODUCIBLE_OUTPUT that
when set skips printing parts of the test messages that may contain data
that differ on subsequent runs (e.g. pids).

With this you can run a test twice under a different conditions and
check if the test codeflow was identical by simply doing diff of the
outputs from the two runs.
