+ test defs: fix 'javac' requirement for older JDK versions

+
+ maintcheck: look for problematic names of testcases
+ The configure.in stub created by default by `tests/defs' obtains
+ the first argument of AC_INIT from the test name, and this can

+ builtin or macro (e.g., `defn' or `m4_undefine').
+ See for example the bug fixed by commit v1.11-287-g1325a8a.

+ tests: optimize `instspc-*.test' for speed
+ After the split of `instspc.test' into various generated tests,
+ the running time of the testsuite has noticeably increased, since
+ all these new generated tests must run aclocal, autoconf and
+ automake, whereas previously they were run only once (at the
+ beginning of `instspc.test'). But luckily, since the new tests
+ share the same input files for the autotools, this situation can
+ be easily worked around (at the expenses of a slight increase of
+ complexity for the testsuite scaffolding).
+ * tests/instspc-data.test: New helper test, properly calling
+ the `instspc-tests.sh' script to generate input data for the
+ others `instspc-*.test' tests.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Add `instspc-data.test'.
+ ($(instspc_tests:.test=.log)): Depend on its log file.

+ files shared by all the `instspc-*.test' tests.
+ When sourced by the `instspc-*.test' tests, use those previously
+ created files instead of recreating them from scratch.
