tests: avoid gross inefficiency in "make test"
Do not run a sub-make to set up the environment for each and every test script. Instead, run it just once and store the result in a file. * tests/check.mk (built_programs): Remove definition. (.built-programs): New rule to create the temporary file. (CLEANFILES): Arrange to remove it. (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Simply cat .built-programs, rather than running the sub-make. * .gitignore: Ignore it.
