[PATCH libevl v2 1/4] evl-test: add stress command support for background load testing

Add the ability to run a stress command (e.g. stress-ng) in the
background during test execution via the new -s option. This allows
testing EVL functionality under system load.

The stress command runs in its own process group (via setsid) to ensure
clean termination of all child processes, and is automatically stopped
when tests complete or the script exits normally or via signals.

The stress command output is dropped by default but can be redirected
using the --stress-out option.

Usage example:
  evl-test --stress-cmd "stress-ng --vm 2 --vm-bytes 1G --cpu 4" -k
