testdir status

[Bruno Haible]

On all relevant Unix platform, a testdir of all of Gnulib now compiles fine,
with the usual configurations [1].

On all native Windows platforms (mingw, MSVC, clang/MSVC), a testdir of
all of Gnulib except selected modules (see below) now compiles fine as well.

Of course there are some test failures which haven't been investigated yet
(12 on GNU/Hurd, 6 on NetBSD, 20 on native Windows).

As a help for creating the testdirs, I'm adding this auxiliary program.

        Add another helper script for creating testdirs.
        * all-modules: New file, based on posix-modules.

$ ./all-modules --help
Usage: all-modules [option]

Lists the gnulib-tool command line options that can be used when creating
a testdir of nearly all of gnulib.

Options:

      --for-mingw           list only modules that work on mingw
      --for-msvc            list only modules that work on MSVC
