tests: add testcases sanity-checking the testsuite Helper subroutines, variables and other pieces of code defined in the `tests/defs' and used by many testcases are non-obvious, and tricky to get to work portably; but until now, they weren't tested at all in a clear and self-contained way. This change should remedy to the situation. * tests/self-check-cleanup.test: New test, check removal of temporary test working directory by `./defs'. * tests/self-check-dir.test: New test, check that tests using `./defs' create a proper temporary directory, and run in it. * tests/self-check-exit.test: New test, check that, in case of failing commands, the correct exit status is passed to the exit trap installed by the `./defs' script. * tests/self-check-is_newest.test: New test, checking the `is_newest' subroutine. * tests/self-check-me.test: New test, checking that $me gets defined automatically by `tests/defs' if not set, and that it can be overridden from either the shell or the environment. * tests/self-check-sanity.test: New test, check that the sanity checks performed by the `tests/defs' script works correctly. * tests/self-check-unindent.test: New test, checking the `unindent' subroutine. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Update.
