When running unit tests, some may have side effects which cause a
subsequent test to break. This can sometimes be seen when using 'ut dm'
or similar.
Add a new argument which allows a particular (failing) test to be run
immediately after a certain number of tests have run. This allows the
test causing the failure to be determined.
Update the documentation also.

Some tests can have race conditions which are hard to detect on a single
one. Add a way to run tests more than once, to help with this.
Each individual test is run the requested number of times before moving
to the next test. If any runs failed, a message is shown.
This is most useful when running a single test, since running all tests
multiple times can take a while.

The '--args' parameter to gdb comes before the binary that the debugger
will be attached to rather than after the binary and before the
arguments. Fix that in the docs.

Add a second on writing tests, covering when to use Python and C, where
to put the tests, etc. Add a link to the existing Python test
documentation.

At present some of the documentation about running sandbox tests is in the
sandbox docs. It makes more sense to put it in with the other testing
docs, with a link there from sandbox. Update the documentation
accordingly.
Also add a paragraph explaining why sandbox exists and the test philosophy
that it uses.

Add a few notes about the sandbox_spl tests, since they are special.

Add details about how to run a sandbox test directly, without using
pytest. This is more convenient for rapid development, since it is faster
and allows easier use of a debugger. Also mention sandbox_flattree as an
example of the different sandbox builds available.
