tests: move 'runtest' into the top-level directory

Move our wrapper script 'runtest' (meant to allow the execution of
Automake test cases from the command line) from the 't/ax/' directory
to the top-level one.  This makes the script easier to find and to
invoke.  Much more importantly, our DejaGNU-checking test cases won't
try anymore to use that script instead of the 'runtest' program provided
by DejaGNU (that happened because '$(srcdir)/t/ax/' is automatically
added early to the $PATH variable in our test cases), which was causing
spurious SKIPs.

* t/ax/runtest.in: Move ...
* runtest.in: ... here.
* Makefile.am, t/README, .gitignore: Adjust.

   with the '.tap' suffix use the TAP protocol.
 
   If you want to run a test by hand, you should be able to do so using the
-  'runtest' script:
+  'runtest' script provided in the Automake distribution:
 
-      ./t/ax/runtest t/nogzip.sh
-      ./t/ax/runtest t/add-missing.tap
+      ./runtest t/nogzip.sh
+      ./runtest t/add-missing.tap
 
   This will run the test using the correct shell, and should also work in
   VPATH builds.  Note that, to run the TAP tests this way, you'll need to
