Title: test: fix spawn test with autotools build

Fix spawn_reads_child_path when executed as `test/run-tests` or
`make check`:

1. `make check` builds a dynamic libuv.so or libuv.dyld by default.

2. spawn_reads_child_path spawns a new instance of the test runner
by consulting uv_exepath() and executing the result.

3. `test/run-tests` is normally a shell script that sets up
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH before executing the
real test runner in `test/.libs`.

4. uv_exepath() (corectly) returns the path of the binary in
`test/.libs`. The binary is linked against libuv.so but that
library is not on any of the default linker paths; and if it is,
it's almost certainly the wrong version.

5. Ergo, carry over the value of the (DY)LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment
variable into the environment of the child process so that the
dynamic linker knows where to find the library.

Alternatively, we could link the test runner statically against libuv.a
but that breaks `make check` when configured with `--disable-static`.
