[PATCH:libXt] Add test framework similar to xserver and use it to test XtAsprintf

Good idea. I think you should also have another test, with a bigger
string to hit the second code path (the vsnprintf call returning more
than the buffer's size: 256).

It actually doesn't fail here. (And yes, I checked without the fix.)

To build some stats:
  $ ok=0; nok=0; for i in $(seq 1 100); do make -C build/test check >/dev/null 2>&1; if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then nok=$((nok+1)); else ok=$((ok+1)); fi; done; echo "ok: $ok"; echo "nok: $nok"

I supposed it depends again on the size we're considering. Using "foo"
instead of program_name, I'm having this kind of stats:
  ok: 28
  nok: 72
  ok: 24
  nok: 76
  …

(Might depend on the length of the string representation for the
random int.)

While with program_name, I'm hitting those everytime:
  ok: 100
  nok: 0

Note that program_name is much longer than "foo", which might explain
the differences at run time:
  /home/cyril/debian-x/lib/libxt.git/build/test/.libs/lt-Alloc

Therefore I'd suggest running 3 tests:
 - with a short string ("foo"-like) + integer
 - with a “medium yet random” string (program_name) + integer
 - with a longer string (to hit the 256 limit) + integer

And running those in loops of several-dozens/hundreds occurrences
might be a good idea.

Whitespace here.
