[Swan-dev] replace "make check UPDATEONLY=1" with "make update"

(more local hacks)
Paul mentioned I could update all the test VMs by, from the
testing/pluto directory, entering:
make check UPDATE=1
and then hit cntrl-c a short while later. Turns out, if you sacrifice
several chickens (try reading the code for why), you can get:
make check UPDATEONLY=1
to just do the update.
I'd like to replace this with a simpler and more transparent "update"
target (or update-kvm or update-vm or update-test-vm or ...). This
would mean:
old: make check
new: make check
old: make UPDATE=1 check
new: make update check
(that's two less characters to type)
old: make UPDATEONLY=1 check
new: make update
(that's 12 less characters to type!)
I could probably hold my nose and leave UPDATE=1 but not UPDATEONLY.
