Source directory restructuring complete

[Sumit Bhardwaj]

Hi Geert,

Pulled master and tried to build using autotoosls. As per your suggestion,
I built in ../build_gnucash which is parallel to the top-level gnucash
directory.

make succeeded.
make install succeeded as well.
make check failed with 3 tests - error message below. Is this a known
problem?

I haven't tried building using cmake. My system configuration is also below
(Fedora 26).

Thanks,
Sumit

System config:
----------------------
 gnucash version ...... : 2.6.99
