Boost test macros are not safe to use in multiple shards (threads).
Doing so will result in their output being interwoven, making it
unreadable and generating invalid XML test reports. There was a lot of
back-and-forth on how to solve this, including introducing thread-safe
wrappers of the boost test macros, that use locks. This patch does
something much simple: it defines a bunch of replacement utility
functions for the used macros. These functions use the thread safe
seastar logger to log messages and throw exceptions when the
test has to be failed, which is pretty much what boost test does too.
With this the previously seen complaint about invalid XML is gone.
Example log messages from the utility functions:
DEBUG 2020-05-27 13:32:54,248 [shard 1] testlog - check_equal(): OK @ validate_result() test/boost/multishard_mutation_query_test.cc:863: ckp{0004fe57c8d2} == ckp{0004fe57c8d2}
DEBUG 2020-05-27 13:32:54,248 [shard 1] testlog - require(): OK @ validate_result() test/boost/multishard_mutation_query_test.cc:855
