[Bug 1842086] Re: TestHarness should be TESTPROD instead of PROD

The RTEMS test harness executables remain self-contained, with necessary
test files baked into the executable.

Personally, I don't see skipping re-linking test executables as a major
slow down.  At least when compared with compiling c++ code like
libpvAccess.

@Andrew, Have you committed any of these changes?  If not, then I would
rather defer this issue again.

Title:
  TestHarness should be TESTPROD instead of PROD

Status in EPICS Base:
  In Progress
Status in EPICS Base 7.0 series:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Several "TestHarness" vxWorks and RTEMS products are built as
  PROD_vxWorks and PROD_RTEMS instead of TESTPROD_vxWorks and
  TESTPROD_RTEMS even though they depend on TESTLIB code. This seems a
  bit inconsistent. Changing them to TESTPROD would allow to build EPICS
  base without tests, which could speed up the development cycle in an
  early phase when building the tests is not yet needed.

  Attached is a patch for EPICS 7 base. The same could be done for the
  submodules.
