What
Add new macro for supplying the test specifier, as given by the
command line test, to the all-tests target.
Why
To support running make all-tests for a limited number of test or even
just a single one. Can be used from the docker target to support
debugging test cases that fails for a specific Emacs version.
Example:
Will clean the (copied) workspace from any compiled files and then run
all-tests with the specifier set to hyrolo. ie. just run tests
matching that specifier.
Since all-tests does not terminate Emacs the system is in a state
where the tests can be debugged and the backtrace of any failing test
can be examined.
