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.

The test files with made-up syntax in this directory serve for additional linewise checks to be manually performed whenever the algorithm managing screen dump file generation is modified (../../runtest.vim#RunTest()). This is mainly used for debugging and testing the syntax test suite. Please test any changes as follows: cd runtime/syntax/ make clean self-testing test
