Add run-one-test convenience target and makefile help text
Adds "make test" for re-running just one test. Also adds "make help" for help with our Makefile targets, and adds a mini-help when you just run "make". Reviewed-by: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@redhat.com>

+This is the file that gets printed when the user runs "make help",
+starting just after the "help-starts-here" line.
+
+help-starts-here
+
+all
+ The usual default; builds everything but doesn't run the
+ tests.
+
+check (or tests)
+ Runs the standard set of tests.
+
+test
+ Runs one test. Use like this:
+ make test t=wcsmbs/test-wcsnlen
+ Note that this will rebuild the test if needed, but will not
+ rebuild what "make all" would have rebuilt.
+
+--
+Other useful hints:
+
+builddir$ rm testroot.pristine/install.stamp
+ Forces the testroot to be reinstalled the next time you run
+ the testsuite (or just rm -rf testroot.pristine)
