Generalize the run_tests.sh and .travis.yml test generation to handle
combinations of arguments to the --with-malloc-conf configure option,
and merge "dss:primary" into the existing "tcache:false" testing.
Simplify configuration by removing the --disable-tcache option, but
replace the testing for that configuration with
--with-malloc-conf=tcache:false.
Fix the thread.arena and thread.tcache.flush mallctls to work correctly
if tcache is disabled.
This partially resolves#580.
In 6e7d0890 we added better travis continuous integration tests. This is nice,
but has two problems:
- We run only a subset of interesting tests.
- The travis builds can take hours to give us back results (especially on OS X).
This adds scripts/gen_run_tests.py, and its output, run_tests.sh, which builds
and runs a larger portion of possible configurations on the local machine.
While a travis run takes several hours to complete , I can run these scripts on
my (OS X) latop and (Linux) devserve, and get a more exhaustive set of results
back in around 10 minutes.
