Rename 'test' to 'check' target in Makefile.direct

This is to match the target name in Makefile generated by configure.

* Makefile.direct: Update comment about testing (rename "test" target
to "check").
* Makefile.direct (check): Renamed from "test".
* Makefile.direct (test): Depend on check; add comment.
* README.QUICK (INSTALLATION): Leave information only about the recent
GC version.
* README.QUICK (INSTALLATION): Replace "make test" with "make check".
* README.md (Installation and Portability): Likewise.

-Alternative 1 (the old way): type "make test" in this directory.
-        Link against gc.a.  With the most recent GC distributions
-        you may have to type "make -f Makefile.direct test" or
