Files in test directories had only copyright of a single individual,
of which code was adapted here as a base of the test system.
Since then many Notmuch Developers have contributed to the test
system, which is now acknowledged with a constant string in some
of the test files.
The README file in test directory instructed new files contain a
copyright notice, but that has never been done (and it is also not
needed). To simplify things a bit (and lessen confusion) this
instruction is now removed.
As a side enchangement, all of the 3 entries in the whole source
tree cd'ing to `dirname` of "$0" now uses syntax cd "$(dirname "$0")".
This makes these particular lines work when current working directory
is e.g. /c/Program Files/notmuch/test/.
(Probably it would fail elsewhere, though.)
When notmuch sources are at a symlinked path, some tests fail because
one part of the test uses physical path and another uses logical
path (with symlinks). For example the following test output is
produced when the test is started from /home/src/symlink-to-notmuch,
which is a symlink to /home/src/notmuch.

This commit makes all paths in test scripts physical. With it, all
tests pass even when run from a symlinked directory.
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.
When something in tests fails one possibility to test is to run
the test script as `bash -x TXXX-testname.sh`. As stderr (fd 2) was
redirected to separate file during test execution also this set -x
(xtrace) output would also go there.
test-lib.sh saves the stderr to fd 7 from where it can be restored,
and bash has BASH_XTRACEFD variable, which is now given the same value
7, making bash to output all xtrade information (consistently) there.
This lib file used to save fd's 1 & 2 to 6 & 7 (respectively) in
test_begin_subtest(), but as those needs to be set *before* XTRACEFD
variable is set those are now saved at the beginning of the lib (once).
This is safe and simple thing to do.
To make xtrace output more verbose PS4 variable was set to contain the
source file, line number and if execution is in function, that function
name. Setting this variable has no effect when not xtracing.
As it is known that fd 6 is redirected stdout, printing status can now
use that fd, instead of saving stdout to fd 5 and use it.
It turns out there was a reason the old man pages were stored in a man
compatible hierarchy, namely so that we could run man on them before
installing.
Hardcode doc build location into test suite. This isn't ideal, but
let's unbreak the test suite for now.
