Moving allsource.tests to busybox.tests?

Just a thought that at some point in the future our runtests.sh might be 
upgraded to automatically skip tests for applets that are disabled, in which 
case it would probably make sense to consolidate the general tests (ala 

This is semi-related to a pending bit of "make standalone" cleanup work I'm 
pondering, to standardize the CONFIG names so we can be sure which ones 
enable an applet and which ones don't.  We've annotated lots of features, but 
how do we distinguish CONFIG_SELINUX or CONFIG_STATIC from CONFIG_INIT or 
CONFIG_HALT?  Also, although we have CONFIG_FEATURE_APPLETNAME_DETAIL, we 
don't always follow it.  CONFIG_FEATURE_INIT_SCTTY and 
CONFIG_FEATURE_INIT_COREDUMPS, yay.  But init also has 
CONFIG_FEATURE_EXTRA_QUIET, CONFIG_FEATURE_INITRD, or 
CONFIG_FEATURE_USE_INITTAB which aren't so easy to spot mechanically.

Right now the only thing that cares is make allbareconfig, but doing sane 
dependency checking for make standalone would be a _LOT_ easier if this was 
systematic...
