I have been trying to reduce the time that testsuite runs take for CheriBSD
on QEMU (currently about 22 hours). One of the slowest tests is pfctl_test:
Just listing the available test cases currently takes 98 seconds on a
CheriBSD RISC-V system due to all the processes being spawned. This trivial
patch reduces the time to 92 seconds. The better solution would be to
rewrite the test in C/C++ which I may do as a follow-up change.

target.
Also update the pfctl tests Makefile to work with this change.

Copy the most important test cases from OpenBSD's corresponding
src/regress/sbin/pfctl, those that run pfctl on a test input file and check
correctness of its output. We have also added some new tests using the same
format.
The tests consist of a collection of input files (pf*.in) and
corresponding output files (pf*.ok). We run pfctl -nv on the input
files and check that the output matches the output files. If any
discrepancy is discovered during future development in the source
tree, we know that a regression bug has been introduced into the tree.
