Move runnable code (tests) from Documentation to selftests and update
Makefiles to work under selftests.

Jon Corbet and I discussed this in an email thread and as per that
discussion, this patch series moves all the tests that are under the
Documentation directory to selftests. There is more runnable code in
the form of examples and utils and that is going to be another patch
series. I moved just the tests and left the documentation files as is.

I'm fine with the idea, but it looks like a couple of tweaks are needed,
in particular to avoid leaving behind dangling references in
Documentation/Makefile that cause build errors.

I think the individual patches probably need a wider CC list as well.
I'd use the get_maintainer script (or git) to see who has taken an
interest in the individual tests and make sure they are aware of the
move.

Thanks,
