Details:

This issue is fixed and is pushed to master on the main repo.

when `make check' was run, the utilities would also go looking into the user
and system-wide directories for options. Checking user and system
configuration files caused problems when the newer version of a utility has
changed old options (renamed, or removed them). Although this should not
happen too often, but in major releases and during the first few releases of
Gnuastro (while it is stabilizing) it can happen. So the `make check' tests
would fail with the respective utility complaining of an unrecognized option.

The `onlydirconf' option is now added to the configuration file of all the
utilities at the start of `make check' (`tests/prepconf.sh') so the utilities
only look into `tests/.gnuastro/' for configuration files. The implementation
also allows add other such options specific to `make check' to be added to the
configuration files in the future, if need be.
