test: work around debugger not killing inferior

On UNIX platforms, the debugger doesn't reliably kill the inferior when
killed by a signal.  Work around that by spawning the debugger in its
own process group and killing the process group instead of just the
debugger process.

This is a hack to get the continuous integration back to green, it
doesn't address the underlying issue, which is that the debugger
shouldn't leave stray processes behind.
