It seems to be that it would be much more convenient to just be able
to defined VALGRIND to activate this feature. board files are the only
way we have to provide setup-specific information (such as target name,
etc), but the stuff to get testing under valgrind should be the same
for everyone...
Similarly, I have always found unfortunate that gdb.reverse testing
is conditioned on a setting that gets set in a board file. As a result
of this, I have never run the gdb.reverse testcases even though I could
have done so on my laptop.
