message:
  Remove lib-src/test-distrib.c and related
  
  The class of problems that this was designed to detect, namely .elc
  files getting corrupted by being passed around by email via uuencode
  or somesuch, has not been a relevant concern for many years.
  
  * lib-src/test-distrib.c, lib-src/testfile: Remove.
  
  * lib-src/Makefile.in (DONT_INSTALL): Remove test-distrib.
  (test-distrib${EXEEXT}): Remove rule.
  
  * make-dist: Do not distribute lib-src/testfile.
  
  * admin/quick-install-emacs (AVOID): Remove testfile and test-distrib.
  
  * INSTALL, etc/PROBLEMS, admin/notes/unicode:
  Remove references to test-distrib and testfile.
