Add a section with minimal description on setting up and running the test
suite with a link to the INSTALL documentation which is a little more
detailed in terms of package requirements.

+GRUB is basically a tiny operating system with read support for many file
+systems and which has been ported to a variety of architectures. As such, its
+test suite has quite a few dependencies required to fully run the suite.
+These dependencies are currently documented in the
+@uref{https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/grub.git/tree/INSTALL, INSTALL}
+file in the source repository. Once installed, the test suite can be started
+by running the @command{make check} command from the GRUB build directory.
