John Ralls 6d32b6f693 [Testing] Separate unit test functions from make check functions.
I'd originally put the functions supporting log detection, qof event handling, and mock-counting in test-stuff along with the functions that support the older "make check" integration tests. There are now more unit test support functions than there are of the older functions, so it's time for them to move out on their own.

Unit Test Templates

This directory contains three template files for setting up GLib
g_test operated unit tests in a test directory. If your module
directory doesn't already have one, create a test subdirectory and add
it to configure.ac.

If there is already a test directory with make check tests in it, copy
the contents of the Makefile.am in this directory to the existing
Makefile.am; otherwise, copy the Makefile.am to your test directory.

Copy test-module.c and test-suite.c to your test directory and rename
them appropriately. You will very likely want several copies of
test-suite.c, one corresponding to each c file in the module directory
that you're testing.

Edit the test module file to call the (renamed) test_suite_module() in
each test-suite file. Add tests and fixtures as needed to the
test-suite files and add them to the (renamed) test_suite_module()
function.

Edit Makefile.am according to the comments in the file.

Run autogen.sh and configure. "make check" will run all tests; "make
test" will run only the GLib unit tests not guarded by conditionals
(see test-suite.c).
