[issue36825] Make TestCase aware of the command line arguments given to TestProgram

[Rémi Lapeyre]

Bumping this issue as issue 37873 that wants to add a new -j argument to unittest got some attention lately.

This PR makes the Test Cases aware of the command line arguments given to unittest.main() and is needed to add the --pdb argument proposed in issue 18765 to run pdb.post_mortem() when an exception occurs during a test.

Both this issue and #18765 would be very useful to augment unittest.
