[libvirt] [PATCH] tests: run valgrind on real executables, not libtool wrappers

* tests/Makefile.am (valgrind): Use libtool's ability to bypass
libtool wrappers when running valgrind.
---

I didn't think this was quite trivial enough to push without review.
Now that tests use libtool, we want to be sure to run valgrind on
the actual test, not on the bash shell that libtool uses to fire up
the real test.  I also tested that this works even when there is no
libtool wrapper, such as when you disable modules for compilation.
