Parallel "make check" support.

* build-aux/check.mk: New file, from The Vaucanson Group.
* .x-sc_GPL_version: New file, to allow "version 2 or later"
in build-aux/check.mk.
* Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add .x-sc_GPL_version.
* tests/check.mk: New file.
* tests/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DIST): Add check.mk, mkdtemp and test-lib.sh.

Begin factoring "sample-test" out of test scripts.
* tests/test-lib.sh: New file, to be sourced by all tests that
were previously derived from the "sample-test" template.
* tests/mkdtemp: New file.
* tests/touch/dir-1: Use test-lib.sh.
* tests/touch/empty-file: Likewise.
