Make runtests.py a little more versatile: support -x, and arbitrary flags

to be passed to regrtest.py.  Also add -h for help, and summarize the
BAD/GOOD/SKIPPED files at the end.

runtests.sh

 #!/bin/sh
 
-# A script that runs each unit test independently, with output
-# directed to a file in OUT/$T.out.  If command line arguments are
-# given, they are tests to run; otherwise every file named
-# Lib/test/test_* is run (via regrtest).  A summary of failing,
-# passing and skipped tests is written to stdout and to the files
-# GOOD, BAD and SKIPPED.
+HELP="Usage: ./runtests.py [-h] [-x] [flags] [tests]
+
+Runs each unit test independently, with output directed to a file in
+OUT/<test>.out.  If no tests are given, all tests are run; otherwise,
+only the specified tests are run, unless -x is also given, in which
+case all tests *except* those given are run.
+
+Standard output shows the name of the tests run, with 'BAD' or
+'SKIPPED' added if the test didn't produce a positive result.  Also,
+three files are created, named 'BAD', 'GOOD' and 'SKIPPED', to which
+are written the names of the tests categorized by result.
+
+Flags (arguments starting with '-') are passed transparently to
+regrtest.py, except for -x, which is processed here."
