Autotest: point to log more prominently

Hi there,

I'm not quite certain about this patch, but I get the impression that
users may need to be pushed a bit more prominently to the location of
testsuite.{log,dir}.  The patch below is a suggestion to this extent.

Surely for users not executing the testsuite from the toplevel build
dir the information is not strictly correct -- but then again those
most likely rather know what they're doing anyway, and so won't be
misled by this.

Cheers,
Ralf

        * lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): Add `at_testdir' to pointer
        to log, point to testsuite output tree.
