script suggestion: 'check_program' to easily run multiple tests

[Assaf Gordon]

Hello,

Attached is a small script I've been using.
It helps running multiple tests for a given program.

example:
  ./scripts/check_program sort

Will find all sort-related tests (based on filename) and run them.
Adding "-e" or "-v" also runs expensive and very expensive tests:

examle:
  ./scripts/check_program -v sort

is equivalent to:
   make check VERBOSE=yes SUBDIRS=. \
              RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes \ RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes \
              TESTS="./tests/misc/sort-NaN-infloop.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-benchmark-random.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-compress-hang.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-compress-proc.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-compress.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-continue.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-debug-keys.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-debug-warn.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-discrim.sh
                 ./tests/misc/sort-exit-early.sh
