Revised pngtest so memory allocation testing is only done when PNG_DEBUG==1.
+ Removed unused pngasmrd.h file.
+ Removed references to uu.net for archived files. Added references to
+ PNG Spec (second edition) and the PNG ISO/IEC Standard.
+ Added "test-dd" target in 15 makefiles, to run pngtest in DESTDIR.
