petdance/scratch — Issue #936: [RFC] make a test_core.pir that tests which are part of coretest use, instead of test_more.pir

Tests that are in ```make coretest``` cannot use PGE, but there is nothing enforcing this, so they end up being added and then the first poor sap that types ```make corevm; make coretest``` gets something like
```

make: *** [coretest] Error 1
```

The proposal is to have a test_core.pir which only imports the subset of function from test_more.pir that are valid for making the corevm target happy.

For reference, this is the current output of "make coretest" on trunk.
