test: make unit tests relocatable
It is useful to package test-* binaries and run them as root under autopkgtest or manually on particular machines. They currently have a built-in hardcoded absolute path to their test data, which does not work when running the test programs from any other path than the original build directory. By default, make the tests look for their data in <test_exe_directory>/testdata/ so that they can be called from any directory (provided that the corresponding test data is installed correctly). As we don't have a fixed static path in the build tree (as build and source tree are independent), set $TEST_DIR with "make check" to point to <srcdir>/test/, as we previously did with an automake variable.
