Matthew John Cheetham b6a125b936 test-tool: extend trace2 helper with 400ancestry ...

Add a new test helper "400ancestry" to the trace2 test-tool that
spawns a child process with a controlled trace2 environment, capturing
only the child's trace2 output (including cmd_ancestry events) in
isolation.

The helper clears all inherited GIT_TRACE2* variables in the child
and enables only the requested target (normal, perf, or event),
directing output to a specified file. This gives the test suite a
reliable way to capture cmd_ancestry events: the child always sees
"test-tool" as its immediate parent in the process ancestry, providing
a predictable value to verify in tests.
