Document, test, and fix AT_ARG_OPTION, AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG.
* lib/autotest/general.m4 (_AT_ARG_OPTION): Fix translation of hyphens to underscores when turning option names to variables. Avoid macro name concatenation garbage with trailing `dnl'. (AT_ARG_OPTION, AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG): Overhaul macro description. The OPTIONS are space-separated, not comma-separated. The negative form of AT_ARG_OPTION is prefixed with `--no-'. * tests/autotest.at (AT@&t@_ARG_OPTION, AT@&t@_ARG_OPTION_ARG): New tests. * NEWS: Update. * doc/autoconf.texi (Writing Testsuites): Document AT_ARG_OPTION and AT_ARG_OPTION_ARG. (testsuite Invocation): Call the thingies passed to the testsuite options, not arguments. Note that the testsuite author may add further package-specific options.
