[PATCH v2 0/2] Get fast-test suite to run on FreeBSD

[Bruce Richardson]

The standard "fast-tests" suite is used to sanity-check large parts
of the DPDK codebase, but it failed to run successfully on FreeBSD,
with large numbers of failures. This is a long-standing issue reported
in Bugzilla back in 2021 as issue 761.

This set attempts to rectify this situation by allowing the suite
to run without errors. Mostly it does this by disabling test suites
that rely on features like multi-process which are unsupported on
FreeBSD. It also fixes the test_debug suite which should run on
BSD but was failing.

v2:
* squash patches for fixes into patch 1
* separate patch for some cleanup of process spawning into patch 2 which
  does not need backport

Bruce Richardson (2):
  test: fix failing tests on FreeBSD
  test: simplify spawning extra test processes
