make test: add test framework debugging

New option TEST_DEBUG=1 turns on test framework debugging, which
currently consists of printing difference in allocated objects/memory
and also creates reference graphs for any unfreed VppPapiProvider/VPP
objects - these take a lot of memory and thus should be freed regularly.
