tests: more consistent checks about invalid options

* tests/aclocal.test: Grepping of automake stderr for messages
reporting invalid options made stricter.
* tests/no-outdir-option.test: Likewise.  Also, create a dummy
`Makefile.am', to ensure that the automake failures are really
caused only by unrecognized options.
* tests/automake.test: Added trailing `:' command.  Removed
redundant checks on `--help' and `--version' option (already
performed in the test `help*.test').
