parallel-tests: don't allow @substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS
Even after the last commit `v1.11-476-g90bea64', the checks
performed by automake on entries in $(TEST_EXTENSIONS) tried to
allow for @substitited@ stuff. This however ends up allowing
quite brittle setups, which, most importantly, are of no real
practical usefulness anyway. So it's better to just disallow
@substitutions@ in TEST_EXTENSIONS altogether, offering a clear
error message, instead of risking weird bugs and unexpected
behaviors in the generated Makefile.in.
* automake.in ($TEST_EXTENSION_PATTERN): Turned from a regular
expression ...
(is_valid_test_extension): ... into this subroutine. Don't allow
generic @substitutions@ anymore (possibly making an exception for
`@EXEEXT@' under the proper circumstances).
* tests/test-extensions.test: Adjust and extend.
* tests/insthook.test (Makefile.am): Add a proper `uninstall-hook'
target to remove the symlink created by the `install-exec-hook'
target; this prevents "make distcheck" from failing spuriously.
Since we are at it, delete an extra blank line, and add a trailing
`:' command.

parallel-tests: automake error our on invalid TEST_EXTENSIONS
This change fixes automake bug#9400.
* automake.in (handle_tests): Bail out if a suffix specified in
TEST_EXTENSIONS would produce an invalid `xxx_LOG_COMPILER'
variable or an invalid suffix rule. Before this change, automake
would have issued a confusing error messages (about invalid or
non-POSIX variables being defined), and in some situations would
have even produced a broken `Makefile.in' file.

Before this change, using the `--acdir' option caused aclocal to
redefine both the directory of automake-provided m4 macros and the
directory of third-party system-wide m4 macros. With this change,
we deprecate the `--acdir' aclocal option, and introduce two new
options `--automake-acdir' and `--system-acdir', to allow for more
granularity.

parallel-tests: no more spurious successes for FreeBSD make
Work around a bug of FreeBSD make bug that was causing the
automake-generated "check" target to complete with success
even if some tests failed; this happened only when FreeBSD
make was run in concurrent mode (as in, e.g., "make -j2
check"). The bug is not present in NetBSD make.
