check: run auto test group by default

Everyone who starts using fstests runs "check" without parameters,
and then has problems with it running dangerous tests. most people
just want fstests to act as a regression test suite, not a fuzzer or
exercise known crash conditions. Hence make the default behaviour to
be "run the auto group" rather than "run every test".

To enable people to run all tests easily (if they really want to)
add a special group keyword named "all". This wildcard will trigger
selecting all the tests in fstests as per the original "check
without parameters" behaviour.
