If running tests with "make -j<N> fate", the execution will stop
after the first failing test. To get an overview of the whole
test suite, one rather would run "make -k -j<N> fate", which then
again buries the results about what tests actually failed further
up in the console log.
Add a target so one can run "make fate-list-failing", to see a list
of all tests that failed the last time they were executed.
Also add a companion target "fate-clear-reports" which removes all
the old test reports. (When executing a subset of tests, the report
files of all tests that aren't executed stay untouched. This also
allows getting rid of reports for tests that no longer are present
in the testsuite.)

The macro hell sometimes make it difficult to trace the source of
an error, so it is easier to analyze the preprocessed output.
This patch makes this automatical by specifying DBG=1 on the
command line: a file ffmpeg/dir/file.asm gets preprocessed to
builddir/dir/file.dbg.asm, which is then compiled.

Split normal build system documentation and the fate one.
Document THREADS make variable and provide an introduction to fate.
Document DESTDIR make variable and add some generic targets.
