FYI: branch-1-5: update testing and release instructions

[Ralf Wildenhues]

Hello libtool patches,

I noted two glitches in branch-1-5 that I thought were good to have
fixed, regardless of whether we actually release another 1.5.x:
- the testing instructions in README were broken,
- when I go through the release procedure and use a build tree that's
  been used before, ltmain.sh does not get updated correctly.  I'm prone
  to such an error when doing a release.  AFAICS, HEAD does not have
  this bug.

I hope this is trivial enough to go without review.  Applied to
branch-1-5.

Cheers,
Ralf

 Alternatively, because each test is a shell script, in a non VPATH build,
 you can simply execute the tests, they will be verbose.
