Git's top directory is crowded and I think it's agreed that moving
test-* to t/helper is a good move. I just wanted to check if we could
take this opportunity (after v2.8.0) to move some other files too. I
propose the following new subdirs

I wonder whether previous discussions on this still count?  See:

If you refer to ancient discussion, especially to a large thread
like that one, please spend a bit more time to summarize it.  It
is between one person spends a bit more time, and all others
independently go there and read.

The essense of the proposal [1] back then was to move all the source
file to src/, rename t/ to testsuite.  And I think [2] is a pretty
good summary of the common feeling back then that explains why the
proposal died out:

    Moving everything into src/ and calling it "organized" doesn't
    actually accomplish much other than perhaps making the README
    file more visible to newbs; things are _still_ a mess, just a
    mess with four more letters...

This round is slightly more organized, so many points the old thread
raised would not apply, I suspect.
