Richard W.M. Jones dc1d0880b0 tests: Move the tests/data and tests/guests directories to test-data.
Create a new top-level directory called test-data, which will carry
all the test data which is large and/or shared between multiple tests.

There are actually several new subdirectories created:

test-data/binaries: The pre-built binary and library files for random
architectures that we use to test various architecture detection
features (was part of tests/data).

test-data/blank-disks: The blank disks which are used for disk format
detection (was part of tests/data).

test-data/files: Other miscellaneous test files from tests/data that
are not included in the above.

test-data/phony-guests: The phony guests (was tests/guests).

test-data: The top-level directory builds the 'test.iso' image file
that is used for testing the C API and in miscellaneous other tests.

The bin-* and lib-* files are used for testing the
guestfs_file_architecture API.
The bin-* files are generated from empty source files (ie.
"main(){}") on the respective architectures.
The lib-* files are generated from a (really) empty source file called
lib.c which is linked into a library using gcc -shared on the
respective architectures.
If you are concerned that these binary files "lack source" then you
can just remove them, but you may need to patch out various tests.
