[PATCH 2/2] A common test subdirectory

[steffen.schwigon]

From: Steffen Schwigon <steffen.schwigon@xxxxxxx>

This commit introduces t/ as a subdirectory for placing
tests that can be run via the existing Linux tool
'prove' (available in all major Linux distributions).

Tests in there are assumed to produce TAP, the "Test
Anything Protocol" (see http://testanything.org).

A library with special utilities to write TAP tests for
Linux (inclusive KVM and Xen support) is provided in the
previous commit ('bash-test-utils'). TAP libraries are
available for many programming languages. The autotest
project already provides TAP support.
