Currently when ASSERT_STREQ or ASSERT_STREQ_AT fail we print
both strings to stderr.  However it can be hard to figure out
the problem (e.g. for 1-character differences in long strings).

Extend the output by writing out the strings to tempfiles and
invoking "diff -up" on them when we have such a selftest failure,
to (I hope) simplify debugging.

Successfully bootstrapped & regrtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.

OK for trunk?

gcc/ChangeLog:
        * selftest.cc (selftest::print_diff): New function.
        (selftest::assert_streq): Call it when we have non-equal
        non-null strings.
