It became tedious as well as error prone to have all recipes use
Test::More as well as OpenSSL::Test. The easier way is to make
OpenSSL::Test an extension of Test::More, thereby having all version
checks as well as future checks firmly there. Additionally, that
allows us to extend existing Test::More functions if the need would
arise.

00-check_testexes.t was a way for me to check that I didn't forget a
compiled test app. The way it worked was to require MINFO to be present.
Considering the need for this test has diminished considerably at this
point, I might as well tone down the requirement, and have it skip the
test (and not fail it) if MINFO isn't present.

Very simple test recipes easily become tedious, so they might benefit
from being made as simple as possible. Therefore, OpenSSL::Test::Simple
is born. It currently provides but one function, simple_test(), which
takes a minimum of two parameters (test name and program to run), with
the optional third, being the algorithm to be checked for before
running the test itself.
All recipes with that simple thing to do have been rewritten to be as
minimal as possible.

Also remove recipes/00-check_testalltests.t, since it will lack the
information from the now gone alltests target.

Note that this required a change in constant_time_test.c, as it says
"ok", which interferes with what Test::Harness expects to see. I had
constant_time_test.c say "success" instead.

As tests are done until now, there are a few scripts that look almost,
but not quite the same. tkey, tx509, tcrl, tpkcs7, treq, tsid and
probably a few more.
recipes/tconversions.pl is a helper script that generalises the
function of each of those, and can then be used in a general manner
from test recipes.

The math recipes are among the heavier, but also quite important.
For the BN test, we have previously relied on bc to verify the numbers.
Unfortunately, bc doesn't exist everywhere, making tests on some platforms
rather painful. With the new recipe (recipes/10-test_bn.t), we rely
on perl's Math::BigInt and a homegrown simple calculator (recipes/bc.pl)
that can do enough to cover for bc.

The idea with this perl based testing framework is to make use of
what's delivered with perl and exists on all sorts of platforms.
The choice came to using Test::More and Test::Harness, as that seems
to be the most widely spread foundation, even if perl is aged.
The main runner of the show is run_tests.pl. As it currently stands,
it's designed to run from inside Makefile, but it's absolutely
possible to run it from the command line as well, like so:
cd test
OPENSSL_SRCDIR=.. perl run_tests.pl
The tester scripts themselves are stored in the subdirectory recipes/,
and initially, we have two such scripts, recipes/00-check_testalltests.t
and recipes/00-check_testexes.t. recipes/00-check_testalltests.t will
pick out the dependencies of "alltests" in test/Makefile, and check if
it can find recipes with corresponding names. recipes/00-check_testexes.t
does something similar, but bases it on existing compiled test binaries.
They make it easy to figure out what's to be added, and will be
removed when this effort is finished.
Individual recipes can be run as well, of course, as they are perl
scripts in themselves. For example, you can run only
recipes/00-check_testexes.t like so:
cd test
OPENSSL_SRCDIR=.. perl recipes/00-check_testexes.t
To make coding easier, there's a routine library OpenSSL::Test, which
is reachable in a perl script like so:
use lib 'testlib';
use OpenSSL::Test;
