When we call BUG(), we signal via SIGABRT that something bad happened,
dumping cores if so configured. In some setups these coredumps are
redirected to some central place such as /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern,
which is a good thing.
However, when we try to verify in our test suite that bugs are caught in
certain code paths, we do *not* want to clutter such a central place
with unnecessary coredumps.
So let's special-case the test helpers (which we use to verify such code
paths) so that the BUG() calls will *not* call abort() but exit with a
special-purpose exit code instead.
