Having standard library tests in the same package as a standard library crate has bad side effects. It causes the test to have a dependency on a locally built standard library crate, while also indirectly depending on it through libtest. Currently this works out fine in the context of rust's build system as both copies are identical, but for example in cg_clif's tests I've found it basically impossible to compile both copies with the exact same compiler flags and thus the two copies would cause lang item conflicts.
This PR moves the tests of libcore to a separate package which doesn't depend on libcore, thus preventing the duplicate crates even when compiler flags don't exactly match between building the sysroot (for libtest) and building the test itself. The rest of the standard library crates do still have this issue however.
