Adds test where one of the threads is waiting on a futex when detach occurs. Such futex PT traces have been observed to fail in libipt decode. We also do not want such PT traces because they do not include real app behavior. This test is to ensure we do not include such syscalls in the final trace. Issue: #5505

Adds a test where one of the threads is waiting on a futex when detach occurs. PT traces for such futex syscalls have been observed to fail in libipt decode. We also do not want such PT traces because they do not represent real app behavior, as the syscall was interrupted by DR's detach signal. #7027 added logic to skip them from the written trace.
This PR adds a regression test. Unfortunately this test still does not reproduce the original libipt decode issue that was seen on a large app. Most errors seen were on a modified kernel and only a few on a regular futex. But it is still useful to add this test that ensures that the thread-final interrupted syscall is skipped.
This test also uncovers a possible transparency violation seen in the behavior of an interrupted-and-restarted futex call, where the blocked thread doesn't remember that it was supposed to wait on a different futex specified by a later FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE call than the one specified by it in the original futex syscall.
Since the new test requires Intel-PT, verified that it passes by running it manually locally:
