Re: [PATCH] extras: New test/build infrastructure

I have split up test-skeleton.c into its components.  The new test
skeleton should be compatible with compilation in C90 mode.  I expect to
use some of these helper functions for future build support on the host
(that is, these routines will have to be compiled twice, once against
the built libc, and once against the host libc).

I converted a few tests to make sure that this works as expected.

I do not propose bulk migration at this point.  Some obscure use cases
are not supported by the exported hooks.

If you think this goes in the right direction, I will port over my
container-based nss_files testing, and the resolver test suite to this
infrastructure.  It also eliminates the need for the hack in my fix for
bug 16421 I posted earlier.

Tested on aarch64, ppc64le, s390x, x86_64.

Testing on i386 revealed that the following change to the temporary file infrastructure is needed.
