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.

parallel-tests: avoid trailing backslashes in make recipes
The new testsuite-harness could generate recipes with a trailing
backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only),
in the very common case where the user hadn't defined the special
$(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) variable. This caused spurious syntax
errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and
could be potentially unportable to other weaker shells.
See automake bug#10436:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10436>
and coreutils bug#10427:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10427#8>
* lib/am/check2.am: Rework line breaks so that no backslash can
be at the end of a line.
* tests/parallel-tests-trailing-bslash.test: New test.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
