This permits to write state files to a location other than the rsyslog
working directory. This may be desirable for some use cases.

When the work directory has not been set or is invalid, state files
are created in the root of the file system. This is neither expected
nor desirable. We now complain loudly about this fact. For backwards
compatibility reasons, we still need to support running imfile in
this case.

Also now permit interactivly running tests without explicitly setting
$srcdir. This now works if we are inside ./tests and fails, as before,
when we are in a different directory.

This is required to support parallel test runs.
Among others, make thise files dynamic:
* test-spool
* rsyslog.input
* rsyslog.out*.log
* tmp.in
Also:
* convert presort test statement to function
* cleanup imfile truncation test
* cleanup imfile-growing-file-id test
some cruft was left due to copy and paste error
* serialize mysql tests
changes some of the test commands to use bash functions
includes some small bug fixes to tests where bugs were
previously not seen due to different plumbing.
