Source: TODO.md, "Remaining work" (at bbb7b8f)

Build tests/harness.c / tests/harness.h with akgl_test_init_headless() and
akgl_test_shutdown_headless(): set the dummy video and audio drivers,
SDL_Init(), akgl_heap_init(), akgl_registry_init(), create a software
SDL_CreateWindowAndRenderer, and point the global akgl_renderer at it.

Seven existing tests hand-roll this today -- tests/sprite.c:194,
tests/character.c:200, tests/tilemap.c:421, tests/charviewer.c:42, plus
tests/draw.c, tests/renderer.c and tests/text.c. Collapse them onto the
shared harness in the same change.

Scope correction worth keeping. The harness used to be the blocker for
everything that needed a renderer. It is not any more: tests/text.c builds a
software renderer and binds a backend to it with akgl_render_2d_bind in nine
lines, and tests/renderer.c and tests/draw.c do the same. For what is left it
is a convenience -- one setup to maintain instead of seven -- rather than the
thing standing in the way.

What still genuinely wants a live akgl_renderer global, a window, or the world
globals: akgl_render_init2d and akgl_render_2d_draw_world (src/renderer.c,
33 lines), src/assets.c (21), akgl_actor_render/actor_visible
(src/actor.c, 53), and the drawing half of src/tilemap.c.

Files: tests/harness.c, tests/harness.h (new); tests/sprite.c:194, tests/character.c:200, tests/tilemap.c:421, tests/charviewer.c:42, tests/draw.c, tests/renderer.c, tests/text.c
