tests: Replace 'make extra-tests' with individual tests.
'make extra-tests' was a monolithic set of tests that did all sorts of
things: valgrind, tests over local guests, tests with upstream qemu,
tests with upstream libvirt, tests with the appliance attach method.
This made it hard to perform individual tests, eg. just valgrind
testing. It was also hard to maintain because the tests were not
located in the same directories as the programs and sometimes
duplicated tests that were run elsewhere.
This commit splits up 'make extra-tests' into 5 separate targets:
make check-valgrind # run a subset of tests under valgrind
make check-valgrind-local-guests # test under valgrind with local guests
make check-with-appliance # test with attach-method == appliance
make check-with-upstream-qemu # test with an alternate/upstream qemu
make check-with-upstream-libvirt # test with an alternate/upstream libvirt
(You can also still run 'make extra-tests' which is now simply
a rule that runs the above 5 targets in order).
This replaces everything that was in the tests/extra directory,
so that has now gone.
