Some architectures, including i686, actually have a recv() system
call, not just a recvfrom(), and we need to cover the recv() with
MSG_TRUNC into a NULL buffer for them as well.

<title>valgrind: Adjust suppression for MSG_TRUNC with NULL buffer</title>

valgrind complains if we pass a NULL buffer to recv(), even if we use
MSG_TRUNC, in which case it's actually safe.  For a long time we've had
a valgrind suppression for this.  It singles out the recv() in
tcp_sock_consume(), the only place we use MSG_TRUNC.

However, tcp_sock_consume() only has a single caller, which makes it a
prime candidate for inlining.  If inlined, it won't appear on the stack and
valgrind won't match the correct suppression.

It appears that certain compiler versions (for example gcc-13.2.1 in
Fedora 39) will inline this function even with the -O0 we use for valgrind
builds.  This breaks the suppression leading to a spurious failure in the
tests.

There's not really any way to adjust the suppression itself without making
it overly broad (we don't want to match other recv() calls).  So, as a hack
explicitly prevent inlining of this function when we're making a valgrind
build.  To accomplish this add an explicit -DVALGRIND when making such a
build.

<title>test, seccomp, Makefile: Switch to valgrind runs for passt functional tests</title>

Pass to seccomp.sh a list of additional syscalls valgrind needs as
EXTRA_SYSCALLS in a new 'valgrind' make target, and add corresponding
support in seccomp.sh itself.

In test setup functions, start passt with valgrind, but not for
performance tests.

Add tests checking that valgrind exits without errors after all the
other tests in the group are done.
