test embedded-c more


Hi -

I committed the following to the HACKING guidelines.  We need to be
more skeptical and rigorous with testing of embedded-c stuff than in
the past.

- Every embedded-C routine should be tested for pass-4 buildability
- and ideally pass-5 correctness.

+ Every embedded-C routine should be tested for pass-4
+ buildability.  As they are a security hazard, every tapset
+ embedded-C routine should be pass-5 stress-tested for response to
+ erroneous inputs.  This applies doubly to /* unprivileged */ ones.
