[FYI] {GSoC} Temporary branch made permanent

Hello automakers.

I've pushed into the permanent, non-rewindable branch `test-protocols'
branch all the changes that have been applied to the temporary branch
`origin/GSoC/experimental/test-results-work' in the last weeks.  This
means that improvements and fixes for (or reversions of) those patches
cannot be done anymore as amendments (with e.g., "git rebase -i" and
"git commit --amend"), but will have to be done as follow-up changes.

The reason behind this move is that, in the work devoted to extending
and improving the Automake's own testsuite, I want to take advantage
of the recent TAP support in Automake; the better way to do so is to
create a new branch 'tap-testsuite-work' out of 'testsuite-work',
merge the TAP-related commits in this new branch, and proceed from
there.  But once those commits are merged, they cannot be amended
anymore without duplicating and/or distrupting the history (as I
learned the hard way some time ago).  So the best route to go it
to "finalize" those commits in a permanent branch, which can then
be merged safely and freely.

Regards,
  Stefano
