Ben Boeckel a9bdef2dda tests: Add variable expansion tests
There are some corner cases in variable expansion which would be nice to
capture before going and rewriting the variable expansion code. The
majority of these are related to configuring files and strings with '@'
in them in conjunction with @ONLY being specified. Another is testing
for '(' usage inside of ENV variable references based on whether it is
quoted or not.

This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything.  To add a test:

1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.

2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
   test directory name ``<Test>``.

3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::

    include(RunCMake)
    run_cmake(SubTest1)
    ...
    run_cmake(SubTestN)

   where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
   corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.

   One may also add calls of the form::

    run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)

   to fully customize the test case command-line.

4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::

    cmake_minimum_required(...)
    project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
    include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)

   where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal.  A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
   will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
   sub-test.

5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
   above containing the actual test code.  Optionally create files
   containing expected test results:

   ``<SubTest>-result.txt``
    Process result expected if not "0"
   ``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
    Regex matching expected stdout content
   ``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
    Regex matching expected stderr content
   ``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
    Custom result check.

   Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
   test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
   The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables

   ``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
    Top of test source tree
   ``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
    Top of test binary tree

   and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
