cmd/dlv,service/dap: use randomized name as default output binary (#3366)
Using a fixed path as the default output binary means that executing
Delve twice in the same directory will cause the second invocation to
overwrite the output binary of the first instance of Delve, making the
restart command not work correctly.

Fixes #3345

dlv test

Compile test binary and begin debugging program.

Synopsis

Compiles a test binary with optimizations disabled and begins a new debug session.

The test command allows you to begin a new debug session in the context of your unit tests. By default Delve will debug the tests in the current directory. Alternatively you can specify a package name, and Delve will debug the tests in that package instead. Double-dashes -- can be used to pass arguments to the test program:

dlv test [package] -- -test.run TestSomething -test.v -other-argument

See also: 'go help testflag'.

dlv test [package] [flags]

Options

  -h, --help            help for test
      --output string   Output path for the binary.

Options inherited from parent commands

      --accept-multiclient               Allows a headless server to accept multiple client connections via JSON-RPC or DAP.
      --allow-non-terminal-interactive   Allows interactive sessions of Delve that don't have a terminal as stdin, stdout and stderr
      --api-version int                  Selects JSON-RPC API version when headless. New clients should use v2. Can be reset via RPCServer.SetApiVersion. See Documentation/api/json-rpc/README.md. (default 1)
      --backend string                   Backend selection (see 'dlv help backend'). (default "default")
      --build-flags string               Build flags, to be passed to the compiler. For example: --build-flags="-tags=integration -mod=vendor -cover -v"
      --check-go-version                 Exits if the version of Go in use is not compatible (too old or too new) with the version of Delve. (default true)
      --disable-aslr                     Disables address space randomization
      --headless                         Run debug server only, in headless mode. Server will accept both JSON-RPC or DAP client connections.
      --init string                      Init file, executed by the terminal client.
  -l, --listen string                    Debugging server listen address. (default "127.0.0.1:0")
      --log                              Enable debugging server logging.
      --log-dest string                  Writes logs to the specified file or file descriptor (see 'dlv help log').
      --log-output string                Comma separated list of components that should produce debug output (see 'dlv help log')
      --only-same-user                   Only connections from the same user that started this instance of Delve are allowed to connect. (default true)
  -r, --redirect stringArray             Specifies redirect rules for target process (see 'dlv help redirect')
      --wd string                        Working directory for running the program.
