some test files were converted to use begin blocks at the bottom of
the test file. this does not work well in some special cases i
consider this style to be a failed experiment.

therefore, all references to C<BEGIN { plan tests => NN; }> must be
converted to C<use Parrot::Test tests => NN;>

Note: there are some tests where the number of tests cannot be
determined until runtime (and therefore don't have "BEGIN" blocks
tied to them.)

These (like t/doc/pod.t) need to be preserved.
