Try to improve this situation by adding extra debug output for recursive dpdk-test calls in general, and to some of the EAL flags tests in particular that are proving problematic. NOTE: there are intermittent failures seen in github actions with the file-prefix EAL unit tests. The problems seem less frequent, or possibly "gone", with this set applied, but even if it masks the problem, this set does give us greater visibility to debug if they do re-occur.
