The whole idea of the patch-set introduce module for LuaJIT C tests. It
also, can be used for unit tests.
* The first patch is the prerequisite for the patch-set. It fixes
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH definition.
* The 2nd and 3d patches provides an API and helper for writing the tests.
* The last 3 patches rewrite existing tests that should be written in C in
  the proper way.

Thanks Maxim, for the review!

I've fixed some Maxim comments and suggestions for the previous series.
Some ignorable comments about wording are ignored:).

Also, see answers for your questions below:

I agree it maybe done, but not within this particular patchsett, so
ignoring for now.

Just for the convenience in usage of __func__ macro as a test group name.

Yes, but:
1) We use it only for our test code, where we set this `\0` directly to
mark EOL.
2) It's simplier than use several marks in buffer.
So, ignoring for now.

Yes, but more convenient to use in vim -- since our usual codestyle isn't 4
tabs as its default for CMake. :)
Still we don't use it anywhere (unfortunately), so removed.

Assertion is for some thing we wnat to test and may fail.
Bail out usage is more specific:
| As an emergency measure a test script can decide that further tests are
| useless (e.g. missing dependencies) and testing should stop immediately.
| In that case the test script prints the magic words
See [1]. I think that loading Lua script helper (dependency) is
something like that.

I think, that this is the best option, espessialy if we want to write
some unit test for some specific module (I mean <src/lj_*>).

Changes in v2:
1) use

| int _test_run_group(const char *group_name, const struct test_unit tests[],
| 		    size_t n_tests, void *test_state);

instead of

| int _test_run_group(const char *group_name, const struct test_unit *tests,
| 		    size_t n_tests, void *test_state);

2) `skip()` `skip_all()` and `todo()` helpers now return values to be
return to runner.
i.e. change usage from
| if (cond)
| 	skip("NIY");
to
| if (cond)
| 	return skip("NIY");

`bail_out()` helper still just exits with error code, which corresponding
its standard specification.

But now some parts of the code start to look "alya cringe":
| return todo("Need to replace backtrace with libunwind first");
| lua_State *L = test_state;
| utils_get_aux_lfunc(L);
| (void)luaJIT_setmode(L, 0, LUAJIT_MODE_ENGINE | LUAJIT_MODE_OFF);
| (void)luaJIT_setmode(L, 0, LUAJIT_MODE_ENGINE | LUAJIT_MODE_FLUSH);
| check_profile_func(L);
| (void)luaJIT_setmode(L, 0, LUAJIT_MODE_ENGINE | LUAJIT_MODE_ON);
| return TEST_EXIT_SUCCESS;

(Yes, we want to use unconditional `todo()`).
So I commented the similar code, helper `check_profile_func()`, etc.
with `#if 0`.

3) In 4th patch use subtest group for snap-related tests to skip all at
once with disabled JIT.

4) lj-49-bad-lightuserdata is moved in C tests, too.
