parallel-tests: avoid trailing backslashes in make recipes
The new testsuite-harness could generate recipes with a trailing
backslash character (possibly followed by blank characters only),
in the very common case where the user hadn't defined the special
$(AM_TESTS_FD_REDIRECT) variable. This caused spurious syntax
errors with at least older bash versions (e.g., bash 2.05b), and
could be potentially unportable to other weaker shells.
See automake bug#10436:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10436>
and coreutils bug#10427:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10427#8>
* lib/am/check2.am: Rework line breaks so that no backslash can
be at the end of a line.
* tests/parallel-tests-trailing-bslash.test: New test.
* tests/list-of-tests.mk: Add it.
