tests: ensure VPATH autom4te search path can find autotests.

* Makefile.am (tests/testsuite): Passing only $(srcdir) include path
to autom4te is unable to find tests/package.m4, and passing only
$(srcdir)/tests breaks VPATH build searches for TESTSUITE_AT files,
which are relative to $(srcdir)... so we pass both!
* NEWS: Updated.
