Adds a simple option to the test_framework to attach pdb if the test fails.

Helpful for catching and debugging intermittent failures: Run the test in a loop with this option. The first failure will cause execution to pause and nodes will be left running for interactive debugging. @sdaftuar

This could certainly be useful to inspect state after a test failed, utACK.

I’m using this right now to debug a test. ACK.
