[Automake-NG] [FYI] [ng] coverage: iteration variable in $(foreach ...) is temporary

[Stefano Lattarini]

* t/spy-foreach.sh: New test.  Check that, after a "$(foreach x,...)"
loop, the make variable $(x) is:
  - restored to the original variable it had before the 'foreach'
    loop, if it was already set; and
  - is re-unset otherwise.
