[PATCH v3 2/4] Makefile: define "TEST_{PROGRAM,OBJS}" variables earlier

Define the variables that make up TEST_OBJS earlier, and don't go back & forth in their definition. Before we'd first append $X to $(TEST_PROGRAMS), and then substitute $X back out of it to define $(TEST_OBJS). Let's instead add a new $(TEST_PROGRAM_OBJS) variable, which avoids this needless back & forth substitution.

See daa99a91729 (Makefile: make sure test helpers are rebuilt when headers change, 2010-01-26) for how we ended up with the original $(TEST_OBJS).
