In various places this patch removes use of run-program-prefix, or
replaces built-program-cmd by built-program-file.
Having such abstractions used to run tests is still useful towards
supporting cross testing - the default setting of the prefix used when
running a test program can be empty, but it's still useful to have a
variable used for running them which could have a nonempty setting in the
cross-test case. I guess I'd rather see these places use e.g. new
variables test-program-prefix and test-program-cmd (defaults empty and
built-program-file), or something like that, as a basis for then adding
more cross-test support.
