For the new CMake-based build system for the installed examples, I just
(revision 10000) implemented that in a more thorough way than ctest by
running all non-interactive devices that are enabled and also mentioned in
plplot-test.sh.  This completes the work on the test_noninteractive target
for this build system.

This more rigourous test than ctest in the build tree immediately turned up
some run-time problems. hp7450 and hp7580 produce many "Invalid pen
selection." messages on our standard examples and lj_hpgl segfaults.  glibc
detects a double-free in pbm.  I have therefore decided to officially
deprecate all these devices (revision 10001).

If somebody decides to give some of them the TLC they need, it is easy to
reinstate them by updating README.release, cmake/modules/drivers-init.cmake,
and examples/plplot_configure.cmake_installed_examples.in appropriately.

The thorough non-interactive tests done by running "make
test_noninteractive" for the new CMake-based build system for the install
tree does have one downside.  The files produced now consume 3.0GB in the
installed examples build tree.

Tomorrow (Sunday) I plan to finish the new build system for the installed
examples by implementing a test_interactive target.
