lalpulsar_bin_test_compiler: add developer option NONEWTESTDIR

Karl Wette requested to merge ANU-CGA/lalsuite:lalpulsar-bin-test-compiler-dev-opt into master

Description

lalpulsar_bin_test_compiler is the script which sets up / tears down tests under lalpulsar/bin/. This includes creating a temporary directory for each test, which is then deleted afterwards. Sometimes, when developing tests, it's useful to prevent the temporary directory from being regenerated before each test. For example, if the test runs some code which takes a while, you might not to re-run the code all the time during development, but instead run it once and keep the results.

This MR adds an option NONEWTESTDIR=1 which re-uses the existing temporary test directory, instead of regenerating it before a test. This complements the existing option NOCLEANUP=1 which prevents the temporary test directory from being deleted after a test. Both options can be passed directly to make check as environment variables.

Note that this option is for development purposes only and should not be set when running make check normally.
