tests: Add a script for find a minimal failing test sequence

min-seq.py can be used to find a minimal test sequence that can be used
to reproduce test failures. This is meant for being able to process the
recently added "Failure sequence:" entries from parallel-vm.log to
reduce manual work needed to debug commonly failing test case sequences.
