Split --disable-tests, fix cross builds

Browse source 
It might seem obnoxious to have yet more configure flags, but I found
controlling both the unit and functional tests with one flag was quite
confusing because they are so different:

- unit tests depending on building, functional tests don't (e.g. when
  we test already-built Nix)

- unit tests can be installed, functional tests cannot

- unit tests neeed extra libraries (GTest, RapidCheck), functional
  tests need extra executables (jq).

- unit tests are run by `make check`, functional tests are run by `make
  installcheck`

Really on a technical level, they seem wholly independent. Only on a
human level ("they are both are tests") do they have anything in common.

I had messed up the logic in cross builds because of this. Now I
split the flag in two (and cleaned up a few other inconsistencies), and
the logic fixed itself.
