ert tests for elisp reference

ert tests for elisp reference

Hi!

I wrote a couple of ert tests testing the contracts given in the Emacs
Lisp reference. I just started with the first few pages of the
reference. I could imagine continuing this work. It's a nice work I
can do in a 5 minute break.

Included is a suggestion which I could put under `test/automated`.
Before I do this I'd appreciate comments whether the general direction
of this approach is ok or whether there are better ideas.

Sure, why not?

I'm not sure about having so many tiny files though - maybe one per chapter?
Or just start with a single file for now, and split it up if/when it
becomes too big?
