[RFC][top-level] Add configure test-case

[Tom de Vries]

Hi,

As reported in reopened PR18632, recent commit 228cf97dd3c ("Merge configure.ac
from gcc project") dropped commit 69961a84c9b ("Don't build
readline/libreadline.a, when --with-system-readline is supplied"), due to the
patch only being applied to binutils-gdb repo, and not to gcc repo.

I wondered if I could write a test-case that would regress because of this,
such that we at least don't silently regress.

I came up with a test-case named toplevel.exp, that can be run like this:
...
 $ cd src
 $ runtest toplevel.exp
 ...
 Running ./toplevel.exp ...

                 ===  Summary ===

 # of expected passes            1
...
and leaves files $src/testrun.{log,sum}.

Tested on x86_64-linux.

Any comments?

Thanks,
- Tom
