configure: testsuite shell set exit traps in shell functions

* configure.ac: Check that the shell selected to run the test
scripts can set an exit trap in a shell function, without having
that trap executed at the termination of the function rather
than of the scripts.  According to the Autoconf manual, at least
AUX 5.3 /bin/sh suffers of such a bug.
