Move mp4parse_capi's build_ffi_test to new test_ffi crate.

The existing process invoked a Makefile from a Rust test, building test.cc
and a statically linkable mp4parse_capi, then running a series of C API
tests.  This wasn't very portable due the reliable on a Makefile, which also
made assumptions about the layout of cargo's build artifacts.

The new process introduces a new crate (test_ffi) and changes mp4parse_capi
to additionally build as a cdylib.  A build.rs in test_ffi builds
test.cc (which must now be written with a simple library API, rather than as
a binary with a main() due to cc-rs limitations) into a static libtest,
which is then linked to test_ffi's Rust binary in main.rs.

test.cc is now split into run_main for the binary dumping tool and test_main
for the API tests.  `cargo run -p test_ffi path/to/a.mp4` invokes run_main,
and test_ffi's ffi_test invokes test_main.

Fixes #197
