Bug description:use exec in sh files generated by run-test.php

Description:
------------
I often use gdb to debug a failed phpt tests, usually by editing the
generated .sh file and prepending "gdb --args" to the command. It is
also possible to run gdb directly on the .sh file (setting
follow-fork-mode child) but it is less convenient, and also problematic
if the test itself forks.

This can be solved by just running the test command with "exec". AFAIK
this should be inocuous for regular test running, but quite convenient
when running gdb.

Test script:
---------------
gdb --args bash tests/failing_tests.phpt

Expected result:
----------------
gdb running normally

Actual result:
--------------
gdb debugging the parent bash process instead (by default)
