test: add ability to skip common flag checks

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/addaleax/common-no-flag-check into master

Currently, common/index.js checks that our test files are spawned with the flags specified in // Flags:, and re-spawns with them if they are not found.

This can be very annoying, for example when debugging using debuggers that attach to the parent process, or when intentionally testing with flags that are different from the specified ones.

This adds a NODE_SKIP_FLAG_CHECK environment variable check. Setting it to a non-empty value will skip the flag checks altogether.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • commit message follows commit guidelines
