glibc wipes malloc(3) memory when the MALLOC_PERTURB_ environment
variable is set.  The value of the environment variable determines the
bit pattern used to wipe memory.  For more information, see
http://udrepper.livejournal.com/11429.html.

Set MALLOC_PERTURB_ for gtester and qemu-iotests.  Note we pick a random
value from 1 to 255 to expose more bugs.  If you need to reproduce a
crash use 'show environment' in gdb to extract the MALLOC_PERTURB_
value from a core dump.

Both make check and qemu-iotests pass with MALLOC_PERTURB_ enabled.

v3:
 * Use $ escaping in tests/Makefile [eblake]

v2:
 * Randomize MALLOC_PERTURB_ value [armbru]
 * Preserve existing MALLOC_PERTURB_ variable, if set [danpb]

This looks good to me, thanks Stefan!

That was one of my comments, but you missed the other:

This is broken if /bin/sh is dash.  s/\$\$RANDOM/RANDOM/

Same problem on dash, same fix is needed.
