    tests: add support for tests expected to fail · bb74adbc

    Add a new macro FAIL_TEST that can be used to define tests that are
    supposed to fail. To distinguish the supposed outcome of a test, add a
    field to 'struct test'.
    
    However, simply adding a field to 'struct test' will make all tests past
    the first one in an executable to be garbage. Apparently, the variables
    of type 'struct test' have different alignment when put into a special
    section than otherwise, and the compiler will get the skip from one
    'struct test' to the next wrong.
    
    Explicitly specify the alingment of 'struct test' to be 16 bytes, which
    is what it seems to be in the special section on x86_64.
