passing system properties to forked test

[dfabulich]

SUREFIRE-121 requests that system properties set on the Maven process get
passed along to the child process.

http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-121

e.g. he wants to do "mvn test -Dselenium.user=test32" and have the test
see the property he specified.

I didn't see anything inherently wrong with that, (it seems like a valid
use case) but it does seem a bit risky.  I checked in a fix in revision
Please pipe up if you know of any reason why I shouldn't have done this.

Heh, that'd be revision 598217.
