test defs: define default $distdir (help reducing duplication)

* tests/defs.in ($distdir): New variable, might be used in
testcases checking distribution-related features.
* tests/pr9.test: Use it.
* tests/subdir9.test: Likewise.
* tests/vtexi3.test: Add comment explaining why we redefine
$distdir in this test.
