test-lib: add the test_pause convenience function
Since 781f76b15 (test-lib: redirect stdin of tests) you can't simply put a
"bash &&" into a test for debugging purposes anymore. Instead you'll have
to use "bash <&6 >&3 2>&4".
As that invocation is not that easy to remember add the test_pause
convenience function. It invokes "$SHELL_PATH" to provide a sane shell
for the user.
This function also checks if the -v flag is given and will error out if
that is not the case instead of letting the test hang until ^D is pressed.
