I've setup CI on GHA because it is much more convenient using their action script.
This covers different Mingw setups and it does not fail on PCH tests like Mingw-w64 one installed by default on GHA/Azure (either because GCC exe there was built without ASLR or is a new recent version which supports PCH relocation).
Various restructure of test framework handling of paths to avoid duplicate path editing which caused failed tests. Adjust many tests to deal with added subdirectories in build outputs now that toolset requirements are active.
Related changes:
* BoostBuild.Tester & TestCmd.TestCmd interfaces now accept external process parameters as a list of strings, thus avoiding problems with parsing arguments containing spaces.
* Avoided a potential process hang in case an external process being run prints out enough output to fill up the OS's pipe buffer (OS would pause the process until someone read the data from the pipe but the testing framework would not do this until the process in question had terminated).

Patch from Andre Hentz.
* v2/build/toolset.jam
(inherit-flags): Take an extra parameter describing properties that
should not be inherited.
* v2/build/type.jam
(register-suffixes): Removed local qualifier.
* v2/test/BoostBuild.py
(prepare_suffix_map): Add .dylib if OS is Darwin.
(Tester::_init_): path to bjam on Darwin.
* v2/test/prebuilt.py
make sure $toolset is expanded correctly.
* v2/test/prebuilt/project-root.jam
use $toolset instead of gcc.
* v2/test/prebuilt/ext/project-root.jam
use $toolset instead of gcc.
* v2/test/prebuilt/ext/Jamfile2.jam
handle extension .dylib.
* v2/test/prebuilt/ext/Jamfile2.jam
handle extension .dylib.
* v2/tools/darwin.jam
inline call to toolset.inherit.
filter <debug-symbols>off because -s is not accepted for dlls.
speficy that .dylib files are of type SHARED_LIB.
(actions link): pass -s for static linkage.
(actions link.dll): pass -L flag with path to libraries.
(actions archive): -c inhibits warning.
[SVN r22332]
* new/common.jam (copy): New rule.
* new/targets.jam (main-target.generate): Use a different
algorith for selecting subvariant. Favour one with
the longest intersection of requirements with build
properties.
* new/virtual-target.jam (virtual-target): Eliminate 'subvariant'
attribute. Use properties of action to for the same
purpose. New methods 'set-path' and 'extra-grist'.
