makepkg: Add check() function for running test suites

A PKGBUILD can have an option check() function for running test suites
between the build() and package() stages.  This function is run by
default but can be disabled globally in with "!check" in BUILDENV in
makepkg.conf. This setting can be controlled on an individual package
basis using makepkg's --check and --nocheck flags. Addition dependencies
needed for running the test suite can be specified in the checkdepends
array and are only checked when running the check() function.
