test: add test for postmortem metadata validation

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/cjihrig/metadata-test into master

This commit adds a test to validate postmortem metadata. There are a lot more constants to be added, but I wanted to get feedback on the idea before spending the time on all of the constants.

The idea is that we can include a list of metadata constants used by llnode, mdb_v8, and any other postmortem tools (if there are any). When this test runs, it will let us know if the constants have gone missing. Currently, we only find that out if the ustack helper compilation breaks, or someone reports a bug to llnode/mdb_v8.

This test doesn't need to run on all platforms (it currently depends on nm), but it would be great if it ran on at least one platform that the V8 team tests on.
