Title: RFC: Include doc, examples and test in `make install` step

This is something that we've been doing in the Homebrew Formulae, and thought would be nice to merge back into the mainline Makefiles. Essentially, this links {doc,examples} -> $BUILD/share/ and {test} -> $BUILD/lib/julia. Also, `make -sC test/unicode` is done during the `make install` step so that all tests are ready to go anytime you want to `julia runtests.jl all` them.

I have this put as an RFC as this makes a lot of sense with the way I do my julia installs, but it may not make a lot of sense to other people, so I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
