modprobe: Allow passing path to module

This is useful to kernel module developers for testing a just compiled
module: instead of using insmod, they can load the module from the path
while getting all the benefits of modprobe (e.g. module dependency
resolution).

v2:
  - Add test for relative path as well. (Lucas)
  - Add note warning about modules with dependencies not matching the
    installed depmod database. (Lucas)

modprobe: Move insertion block into separate function

That same logic will be used for enabling modprobe for paths in the next
patch. As such, prepare for that by extracting that block into its own
function.

testsuite: Wrap chdir()

One of the tests in an upcoming patch will need to change into a
specific directory to test loading a module from a relative path.

kmod: configure.ac: In _Noreturn check, include <stdlib.h> for exit

Otherwise, an implicit functiona declaration is used, causing

libkmod: do not crash on unknown signature algorithm

Example kernel module:
https://file-store.rosalinux.ru/download/7281f97e0c04c0f818ad3f936706f4a407e8dc7e
(/lib/modules/5.15.67-generic-1rosa2021.1-x86_64/kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci.ko.zst)
It is signed with Streebog 512.

libkmod v30 crashed in libkmod-module.c:2413 in this code:

n = kmod_module_info_append(list,
 "sig_hashalgo", strlen("sig_hashalgo"),
 sig_info.hash_algo, strlen(sig_info.hash_algo));

because strlen() got null.

testsuite: fix override of `stat` on 32-bit architectures

When _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is 64, glibc headers turn `stat` calls into
`stat64`, and our `stat` override into a `stat64` function. However,
because we use dlsym to get the address of libc's `stat`, we end up
calling into the "real" `stat` function, which deals with 32-bit off_t,
and we treat its result as if it were returned from stat64. On most
architectures this seems to have been harmless, but on 32-bit mips,
st_mode's offset in struct stat and struct stat64 are different, so we
read garbage.

To fix this, explicitly unset _FILE_OFFSET_BITS in path.c, to turn off
the redirect magic in glibc headers, and override both the 32-bit and
64-bit functions so each call ends up wrapping the right libc function.

Fixes #16 (https://github.com/kmod-project/kmod/issues/16)

modprobe: Write error messages to syslog if stderr is unavailable

The man page modprobe(8) states for the --syslog option:
"This is also automatically enabled when stderr is unavailable."
but it wasn't happening.

This commit now makes modprobe write to syslog if stderr is closed.

build: enable building & running tests from a subdir

During dpkg build, in a subdir, it is currently not possible to run
tests. Building testsuite/modules due to non-existance of the
testsuite directory under the build dir. Thus create it, when it is
not there.

testsuite: repair read of uninitialized memory

Function ``test_backoff_time`` does not initialize ``delta``, and
``get_backoff_delta_msec`` then performs a read from uninitialized
memory with the ``!*delta`` expression.
