tests: quote 'like this', not `like this', as per GCS recommendation
This patch converts the automake testsuite and related files, to
the use of new quoting format 'like this' or "like this" rather
than `like this'.
This is done for consistency with the new recommendations in the GNU
Coding Standards, and, well, because I've come to actually prefer
the '...' and "..." quoting formats over the `...' one.
* tests/README: Update quoting format throughout. Remove some
"excessive" use of quoting, and throw in minor rewording where
appropriate.
* tests/Makefile.am: Likewise, for comments.
* tests/CheckListOfTests.am: Likewise.
* tests/defs-static.in: Likewise.
* tests/defs: Likewise.
* tests/trivial-test-driver: Likewise.
* Many tests/*.tap, tests/*.test and tests/*.sh files: Likewise,
and for the diagnostic and informational messages as well.
* tests/gen-testsuite-part: Likewise, and for the generated tests
as well.

tests: prefer 'configure.ac' over 'configure.in'
With this change, our testsuite now uses 'configure.ac' as the
name for the typical autoconf input, instead of the obsolescent
'configure.in' (which has been deprecated for several years, at
least since autoconf 2.50).
Most of the test cases changed by this commit have been
automatically modified with this sed command (using GNU
sed):
sed -i 's/\<configure\(\\\?\)\.in\>/configure\1.ac/g'
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_no_configure_in): New syntax check.
(syntax_check_rules): Add it.
* tests/defs: Create stub for autoconf input in 'configure.ac',
not in 'configure.in'. Adjust comments.
($AUTOCONF, $AUTOHEADER, $AUTORECONF): Remove workaround for the
infamous debian autoconf wrapper: we don't need such workaround
anymore now that we name our autoconf input as 'configure.ac'.
For more information, see commit v1.11-564-g63da492 "test defs:
hack to support autoconf-wrapper programs" of 16-12-2011.
* tests/README: Use 'configure.ac', not 'configure.in'.
* Many many tests: Likewise.
* tests/backcompat3.test: Adjust to avoid spurious failures.
* tests/backcompat5.test: Likewise.
* tests/missing6.test: Likewise.
* tests/backcompat6.test: Likewise, and extend a bit since we
are at it.

dist: auxiliary files can be distributed from subdir Makefiles
With this change, we make it possible for a subdir Makefile.am
to distribute files in the config auxdir; while this means that
some files might be copied multiple times, it simplify some logic
in the automake script, and fix at least one important bug. In
fact, before this change, the auxiliary script `test-driver' was
not being distributed as expected when TESTS was defined only in
a subdir Makefile (which is a pretty common setup indeed). Now
this does not happen anymore: so the present change fixes automake
bug#9546.
Another welcome collateral effect is that `dist-auxfile-2.test'
now passes.
OTOH, the present changes *breaks threaded automake*. The reason
is that automake needs to serialize file installations spawned
by `--add-missing' (this isn't for cosmetic reasons, but is
really needed to avoid possible race conditions and botched output
files). Currently the code that installs required files is
intertwined with the code that declares the DIST_COMMON variables;
so, upon de-serialization, the definition of DIST_COMMON might get
emitted in the wrong Makefile.in.
Some follow-up refactoring in automake will soon take care of
remedying this situation. For the moment, we just declare some
"parallel-am" tests as xfailing.
* automake.in (maybe_push_required_file): Add ad-hoc handling for
the case where the directory part of the required file is different
from the subdir where the current Makefile.am resides, but is equal
to the "config-aux directory" ($config_auxdir). This is needed to
allow a construct in a non-top-level Makefile.am to require a file
in the config-aux directory.
* tests/test-driver-is-distributed.test: Extend and adjust. This
test now passes.
* tests/java-compile-run-nested.test: Call automake with the `-a'
option to ensure that the `test-driver' auxiliary script gets
correctly installed. This test now passes.
* tests/distcom-subdir.test: New test.
* tests/dist-readonly.test: Likewise.
* tests/dist-repeated.test: Likewise.
* tests/dist-auxdir-many-subdirs.test: Likewise.
* tests/distcom7.test: Removed, it's obsolete now.
* tests/Makefile.am (TESTS, XFAIL_TESTS): Update.
