1. build: Add dependency on "all" to top-level make check …

   Many of flux-core's tests live down in subdirectories with
   the core that that it is testing.  However, some of those tests
   also have dependencies on other subdirectories higher up the
   source tree.  With the recursive Makefiles approach, there is
   no easy way to express that build dependency in a way that will
   actually trigger the build of the that dependency.  The following
   check-local rule, in conjunction with putting "." _first_ in this
   file's SUBDIRS, ensures that "all" is built before any of the
   recursive checks.
   
   "check-local" is the only way that was found to add a dependency to
   the "check" target.  But "make check" is a recursive operation by
   default, so the this dependency can only happen first if we also
   make "." the first subdirectory in the SUBDIRS list.
   
   Note that this approach will _only_ work at the top level of the
   source tree.  However, it seems likely that this is not the only
   place in the flux-core source tree when a make target needs to be
   run at a higher level of the tree in order to be successful.  This
   is probably an inevitable consequence of the using recursive makefiles
   and the design of the ordering dependencies in flux-core.
   
   This was tested to work with "make -j 32 check" as well.
   
   Fixes #399
