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.
In the community we frequently discuss handling of oversize messages.
David Lang rightfully suggested to create a central capability inside
rsyslog core to handle them.
We need to make a distinction between input and output messages. Also,
input messages frequently need to have some size restrictions done at
a lower layer (e.g. protocol layer) for security reasons. Nevertheless,
we should have a central capability
* for cases where it need not be handled at a lower level
* as a safeguard when a module invalidly emits it (imfile is an example,
see https://github.com/rsyslog/rsyslog/pull/2632 for a try to fix it
on the module level - we will replace that with the new capability
described here).
The central capability works on message submission, and so cannot be
circumvented. It has these capabilities:
* overisze message handling modes:
- truncate message
- split message
this is of questionable use, but also often requested. In that mode,
the oversize message content is split into multiple messages. Usually,
this ends up with message segments where all but the first is lost
anyhow as the regular filter rules do not match the other fragments.
As it is requested, we still implemented it.
- accept message as is, even if oversize
This may be required for some cases. Most importantly, it makes
quite some sense when writing messages to file, where oversize
does not matter (accept from a DoS PoV).
* report message to a special "oversize message log file" (not via the
regular engine, as that would obviously cause another oversize message)
This commit, as the title says, handles oversize INPUT messages.

Note: this commit adds global parameters:
* "oversizemsg.errorfile",
is used to specify the location of the oversize message log file.
* "oversizemsg.report",
is used to control if an error shall be reported when an oversize
message is seen. The default it "on".
* add global parameter "oversizemsg.input.mode"
is used to specify the mode with which oversized messages will
be handled.
