Problem: tests: cannot run single syntax tests
Solution: Support running a subset of syntax tests
(Aliaksei Budavei)
Two methods of assembling a subset of test filenames for
selection are provided:
* Filename and filetype Make targets will be generated, and
multiple such targets can be passed before the mandated
trailing "test" target, e.g. "make html markdown test".
* Filenames and their parts can be specified as a regular
expression that is assigned to a "VIM_SYNTAX_TEST_FILTER"
environment variable, and used with the test Make target,
e.g. "VIM_SYNTAX_TEST_FILTER=html\\\|markdown make test".
(This variable will be ignored and the whole suite will be
run when Make is GNU Make and a parent Makefile is used.)
Methods can be used alone or together, with the Make targets
having the higher precedence. Neither method will influence
the order of test execution.

Write a batch of test files with made-up syntax to serve for
additional linewise checks to be manually performed whenever
the algorithm for screen dump file generation is modified.
Define a shell variable VIM_SYNTAX_SELF_TESTING to run these
tests:
cd runtime/syntax/
VIM_SYNTAX_SELF_TESTING=1 make clean test
