SWIG debugging tools

Karl Wetterequested to merge
(removed):swig-debug-tools into master

Description

A few things to help debugging SWIG-related issues:

  • Run the SWIG tests with the "nasty" error handlers which abort() on error, rather than raising an exception. This doesn't affect make check, but makes it easier to run the SWIG tests under a debugger. Indeed running cd swig/ && make debug-{octave|python}-test will run the SWIG tests under gdb --args.
  • Add the SWIG-generated sources swiglal_octave.cpp and swiglal_python.c to the CI job artifacts, so that the sources can be examined in the event of job failures.
