tests: use 'parallel-tests' Automake option by default
This will help our transition from 'serial-tests' to 'parallel-tests'
as the default test suite driver enabled by a TESTS assignment in the
input Makefile.am. Note that that change of default will only take
place in master, though.
* defs: Pass the 'parallel-tests' option to the AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
invocation in the created 'configure.ac' stub, unless the variable
'am_serial_tests' is set to "yes". Don't pay attention anymore to
the 'am_parallel_tests' variable, that's obsolete now.
* defs-static.in: Warn if the 'am_serial_tests' variable is set in the
environment; conversely, don't warn anymore about 'am_parallel_tests'
being set in the environment.
* Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Nullify the 'am_serial_tests'
variable instead of the now-obsolete 'am_parallel_tests' one.
* syntax-checks.mk (sc_tests_obsolete_variables): Also warn against
uses of 'am_parallel_tests', which is now deprecated in favor of
'am_serial_tests'. Similarly, if a use of 'parallel_tests' is seen,
suggest using 'am_serial_tests' instead, not 'am_parallel_tests'.
* gen-testsuite-part: Now that we use the 'parallel-tests' by default
in our tests, we need to completely change the logic and semantics of
generation of sibling tests for those tests that check the Automake
generated testsuite harness itself. Do that, and give a complete
explanation of the new logic and semantics in the relevant comments.
* t/README: Update.
* Lots of test cases: Adjust.

tests: use append mode to capture parallel make output
This should fix the spurious failure reported in automake bug#11413.
This is due to the fact that the redirected output of parallel make
can racily loose lines. For example, if GNU make (3.82) is run on
a Makefile like this:
all = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
default: $(all)
$(all):
@sleep 0.$$(($RANDOM % 10)); echo $@
and has its standard output redirected in overwrite-mode to a regular
file, it looses a line of that output every 15 runs or so on a Fedora
17 system with 64 ppc64 cores and Linux 3.3.1. Redirection in append
mode does not suffer of this problem.
See also similar commit 'Release-1-10-280-g6426999' of 2009-03-10,
"Use append mode to capture parallel test output", which tackled a
similar problem for 't/parallel-tests3.sh' and 't/lisp8.sh'.
* t/tap-more.sh: Use append mode for output from "make -j", to avoid
dropped lines.
* t/parallel-tests3.sh, t/lisp8.sh: Enhance comments.

tests: rename 'tests/' => 't/', '*.test' => '*.sh'
When we (soon) convert the Automake testsuite to a non-recursive
make setup, we'll have to fix the entries of $(TESTS) to be
prepended with the subdirectory they are in; this will increase
the length of $(TESTS), and thus increase the possibility of
exceeding the command-line length limits on some systems (most
notably, MinGW/MSYS). See automake bug#7868 for more information.
Thus we rename the 'tests/' subdirectory to 't/', and each 'x.test'
script in there to 'x.sh'; this way, the $(TESTS) entry 'foo.test'
will become 't/foo.sh', which have the same number of characters.
* tests/: Rename ...

* t/*.test: Rename ...
* t/*.sh: ... to this.
