We put some effort into testing the built copy rather than some
installed copy. On the other hand for people like packagers, testing
the installed copy is also of interest.
When NOTMUCH_TEST_INSTALLED is set to a nonempty value, tests do not
require a built notmuch tree or running configure.
Some of the tests marked as broken when running against installed
notmuch are probably fixable.
In the commit 51cd69feb1 the part of the
test "test runs if prerequisite is satisfied" has been
removed. However, there was a remainder of that test - variable
'haveit'.
Kill it, to not to confuse people.

Unify the subtests by requiring test_begin_subtest before
test_expect_code. (Similar change for test_expect_success has already
been done.)
This increases clarity in the test scripts by having a separate line
for the start of the subtest with the heading, and makes it possible
to simplify the test infrastructure by making all subtests similar.

The only place where we use the implicit prereq check is T000-basic.sh
where we check that it works. It's an added complication that we don't
use. Remove it.
The test_have_prereq function can still be used for the same effect in
subtests that use test_begin_subtest. For now, this will make it
impossible to have prereqs in one-line subtests that don't require
test_begin_subtest. This will be fixed in follow-up work.
The files (test) scripts source (with builtin command `.`) provides
information which the scripts depend, and without the `source` to
succeed allowing script to continue may lead to dangerous situations
(e.g. rm -rf "${undefined_variable}"/*).
At the end of all source (.) lines construct ' || exit 1' was added;
In our case the script script will exit if it cannot find (or read) the
file to be sourced. Additionally script would also exits if the last
command of the sourced file exited nonzero.
In the future, tests may rely on debug symbols being present in
notmuch, so we plan to switch the default flags.
The main purpose of this test is to help explain the perhaps
mysterious failures of other tests which rely on symbols being
present.
- The old test was quite impossible to debug; the new one shows the difference
between the two directories, if any.
- "repository" doesn't make sense for out of tree builds. Or tarball
builds, for that matter.
All test scripts to be executed are now named as T\d\d\d-name.sh,
numers in increments of 10.
This eases adding new tests and developers to see which are test scripts
that are executed by test suite and in which order.
