tests: parameterize --valgrind option

Running tests under helgrind and DRD recently proved useful in
tracking down thread interaction issues.  This can unfortunately not
be done through GIT_VALGRIND_OPTIONS because any tool other than
memcheck would complain about unknown options.

Let --valgrind take an optional parameter that describes the valgrind
tool to invoke.  The default mode is to run memcheck as before.
