After the upgrade from 1.20.9 to .10 my libguestfs package fails to

qemu-img is listed as 'R' (required) in the README file. The reason
it's needed is because we're now building some qcow2 test images in
tests/data.
Since qemu is not a hard requirement to build a package [...]
In Fedora we split qemu-img off into a separate subpackage that
doesn't depend on the main qemu package.
I wonder how to fix the tests/data rules so that the targets which
call qemu-img depend on "make test" or whatever requires the
generated files.
I believe it may work if you change noinst_DATA -> check_DATA.
I don't think we use the test files outside the tests.
