test: fix pty test hangs on aix
Some pty tests persistently hung on the AIX CI buildbots. Fix that by
adding a helper script that properly sets up the pty before spawning
the script under test.

On investigation I discovered that the test runner hung when it tried
to close the slave pty's file descriptor, probably due to a bug in
AIX's pty implementation. I could reproduce it with a short C program.
The test runner also leaked file descriptors to the child process.

I couldn't convince python's `subprocess.Popen()` to do what I wanted
it to do so I opted to move the logic to a helper script that can do
fork/setsid/etc. without having to worry about stomping on state in
tools/test.py.

In the process I also uncovered some bugs in the pty module of the
python distro that ships with macOS 10.14, leading me to reimplement
a sizable chunk of the functionality of that module.

And last but not least, of course there are differences between ptys
on different platforms and the helper script has to paper over that.
Of course.

Really, this commit took me longer to put together than I care to admit.

Caveat emptor: this commit takes the hacky ^D feeding to the slave out
of tools/test.py and puts it in the *.in input files. You can also feed
other control characters to tests, like ^C or ^Z, simply by inserting
them into the corresponding input file. I think that's nice.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests for when the --abort-on-uncaught-exception flag is used.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark No Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common Common modules shared among many tests. Documentation
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections.
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic n-api functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status.
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions (console.log, error messages etc.)
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific n-api functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
sequential Yes Various tests that must not run in parallel.
testpy Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
tick-processor No Tests for the V8 tick processor integration. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/v8_prof_processor.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic.
v8-updates No Tests for V8 performance integration.
