runtests: add option -u to error on server unexpectedly alive

Let's try to actually handle the server unexpectedly alive
case by first making them visible on CI builds as failures.

This is needed to detect issues with killing of the test
servers completely including nested process chains with
multiple PIDs per test server (including bash and perl).

On Windows/cygwin platforms this is especially helpful with
debugging PID mixups due to cygwin using its own PID space.

runtests: make random seed fixed for a month

When using randomized features of runtests (-R and --shallow) it is
useful to have a fixed random seed to make sure for example extra
commits in a branch or a rebase won't change the seed that would make
repeated runs work differently.

As it is also useful to change seed sometimes, the default seed is now
determined based on the current month (and first line curl -V
output). When the month changes, so will the random seed.

The specific seed is also shown in the standard test suite top header
and it can be set explictly with the new --seed=[num] option so that the
exact order of a previous run can be achieved.

runtests: introduce --shallow to reduce huge torture tests

When set, shallow mode limits runtests -t to make no more than NUM fails
per test case. If more are found, it will randomly discard entries until
the number is right. The random seed can also be set.

This is particularly useful when running MANY tests as then most torture
failures will already fail the same functions over and over and make the
total operation painfully tedious.
