tests: report useful system information in 'test-suite.log' It has already happened various times that a user has run the automake testsuite, experienced a failure, read the messages telling him "See tests/test-suite.log" and "Please report to bug-automake@gnu.org", and done exactly that -- sending us only the contents of `tests/test-suite.log', which are usually not enough to start debugging the reported failure. So we have to ask him for more details, and usually also for the `config.log' file generated by configure. It's time to fix this recurring feedback inefficiency. We do so by creating a dummy test case that takes care of copying the contents of `config.log', plus other useful system information, in the final `test-suite.log'. * tests/get-sysconf.test: New test, gathering system information and then always terminating with a SKIP, so that its output gets copied in `test-suite.log'. * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add it.
