testsuite: revamp generation of autogenerated tests With this change, we make generated tests be real scripts again -- albeit only thin layers around the tests they wrap. It turned out that the apparently clever tricks we played by having lots of custom (and auto-generated) `..._LOG_COMPILER' variables and by having the tests in $(wrap_TESTS) not being real on-file-system scripts caused more pain and confusion than expected, for only marginal gains. Also, that previous setup didn't interact very well with "make check RECHECK_LOGS=", since the log files for the "wrappee" tests were always considered out-of-date (which in hindsight is natural, since these log files depended on wrappee tests that didn't exist -- and weren't created). And finally, it wasn't possible to easily and naturally run the wrappee tests from the command line -- definitely harmful for debugging and sanity checking. * tests/gen-wrap-tests: Deleted, its role subsumed into ... * tests/gen-tests-deps: ... this script, with the help of (unindent, atomic_write, build_matcher, write_wrapper_script, %test_generators): ... these new functions and variables. Other few minor fixlets and improvements. * tests/wrap-tests.sh: Delete, not needed anymore. * tests/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/wrap-tests.am): Don't generate nor include anymore. (EXTRA_DIST): Update. (wrap_TESTS): Renamed to ... (generated_TESTS): ... this. ($(generated_TESTS)): Must have the same dependencies of `$(srcdir)/tests-deps.am'. Other minor related reordering and adjustments. * bootstrap: Do not generate `wrap-tests.am' anymore. * tests/.gitignore (wrap-tests.am): Don't ignore anymore. (*-w.test, *-w.tap): Ignore. * tests/README: Update paragraph on automatically-generated tests.
