gdbsupport/selftest: Allow lazy registration

This patch adds a way to delay the registration of tests until the
latest possible moment.  This is intended for situations where GDB needs
to be fully initialized in order to decide if a particular selftest can
be executed or not.

This mechanism will be used in the next patch.
