This diff implements the moving of test cases to the new test directory
discussed above, which I have called invalid_nodepend, as well as
another new test directory, invalid_onlydepend, with only one test case,
for which we test error messages from mmc --generate-dependencies,
which is quite different from all the other invalid tests.

For review by anyone, mostly of the dir names.

Note that this diff does not yet change the treatment of the tests
moved to invalid_nodepend; that will happen after this diff
has been committed.

Zoltan.
