[AC21.4] test-harness improvements

21.4 SXEmacs Untested on those trees, so I can't quite RECOMMEND it. This patch implements both of my recent patches to XEmacs 21.5's test suite in <871wte8y3i.fsf(a)tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp&gt; and <87wtb67hm2.fsf(a)tleepslib.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp&gt; for XEmacs 21.4 (current CVS) and SXEmacs sxemacs--main--22.1.6 (sorry about the ancient version, I tried to update but tla timed out, don't know why yet). Path should apply to either tree with no offsets and no fuzz. Basically the patch provides two improvements. The first is that "unexpected errors" are tracked and reported at the end. The second is that a new test suite API, Silence-Message, is provided to wrap functions that might call `message' and clutter up the test suite output with irrelevant remarks about setting the mark or writing files. The main difference from the 21.5 patch set is that neither 21.4 nor SXEmacs has the region-tests.el test file, so that file got dropped. AFAIK it's relevant to both, but Adrian Aichner would be the one to ask. If so, I suppose you can simply copy the 21.5 CVS HEAD version, which will get you both the tests and my noise-suppression patch. A minor difference is that the mule-tests.el portion of the patch is less invasive than in 21.5. In 21.5, Silence-Message is applied only to write-region, while in this patch, I simply substituted Silence-Message for its expansion to a flet. (I would have done the same as in 21.5, but that hunk failed to apply, so I did the less invasive change, which avoids a bunch of spurious whitespace change.) Rationale is provided in the posts referenced above.
