Pekka Paalanen b365c5d168 test: fix distributing scripts
Fix the following error on 'make distcheck':

make[6]: *** No rule to make target 'scripts/xvfb-piglit.sh', needed by 'scripts/xvfb-piglit.sh.log'.  Stop.
make[6]: Leaving directory '/home/pq/git/xserver/xorg-server-1.19.99.1/_build/sub/test'
Makefile:1367: recipe for target 'check-TESTS' failed

The setup to trigger this is:
  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/pq/local --disable-docs
  --disable-devel-docs --enable-xwayland --disable-xorg --disable-xvfb
  --disable-xnest --disable-xquartz --disable-xwin --enable-debug

SCRIPT_TESTS is populated conditionally, but we should distribute the
scripts in any case.

                        X server test suite

This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used
internally to the server.

= How it works =
Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static
libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions
and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect
clients.

This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state
of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which
may be difficult.

= How to run the tests =
Run "make check" in the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute
them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am.

Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be
executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests.

== Adding a new test ==
When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the
test does and what the expected outcome is.
