  tests init: don't automatically re-execute tests with a POSIX shell
  
  I've unwittingly broken support for that feature *again* in some of
  my recent testsuite tweaking.  In this case, the re-execution code
  works correctly when the tests are executed with a POSIX shells, but
  breaks when they are invoked by an old-style Bourne shells (e.g.,
  /bin/sh on Solaris).
  
  It's time to face it: that feature is too much brittle, and too seldom
  used (because the Makefile takes care of running the tests with the
  correct shell anyway, so that a breakage is only experienced when
  running the tests by hand).  It just don't remain working for long, not
  when we often touch the testsuite setup (which we are going to do again
  when we'll try to move part of our testsuite framework to Gnulib, or a
  similar project).
  
  So, instead of trying to be extra-smart and automatically re-execute the
  tests with the correct shell, we now offer a simple wrapper script that
  the user can employ to run the test scripts with the proper shell.  And
  while we are at it, we write this wrapper to also deal with TAP tests in
  a better way, running them through the prove(1) utility, so that their
  results are correctly recognized and reported.
  
  * t/ax/test-runner.in: New file; the wrapper script we were talking about.
  * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Process it into 't/ax/test-runner'.
  * .gitignore: Add 't/ax/test-runner'.
  * defs: Remove code for automatic re-execution of the scripts with the
  correct shell.  This file now just a very thin layer around 'defs-static'
  and 't/ax/test-init.sh'.
  * t/README: Adjust, and remove or fix some imprecise or outdated text in
  the process (like "... test scripts are written with portability in mind,
  so that they should run with any decent Bourne-compatible shell ..." ).
  * Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): No need to export 'AM_TESTS_REEXEC'
  to "no" anymore.
  * t/self-check-explicit-skips.sh: Likewise.
  * t/self-check-exit.tap: Likewise.
  * t/self-check-me.tap: Likewise.
  * t/self-check-dir.tap: Likewise.
  * t/self-check-reexec.tap: Remove as obsolete.
  * t/list-of-tests.mk: Adjust.
