[PATCH 4/4] rtla/tests: Add runtime tests for restoring continue flag

From: Tomas Glozar

Date: Tue May 26 2026 - 06:26:57 EST


In case an action preceding the continue action fails, not only
the continue flag should not be set, it should be unset if it was set
from a previous run of actions_perform().

Add a runtime test to both osnoise and timerlat tools that checks that
this works properly by creating a temporary file.
