automake: set test-driver path relative to top_builddir

automake offers auxiliary tools and is capable to install and prepare the setup for those.
test-driver, a log driver used by parallel testsuite harness in ptests, is one of those tools.
By default it looks that automake prepare environment for testing relative $top_srcdir.
But in Yocto following changed:
 - build folder was separated
 - $top_srcdir is not anymore defined as relative path, now can be relative or absolute

So now in Yocto the Makefile from src/tests contains absolute path of $top_srcdir for test-driver
which is an unexisting path at runtime.

We need to have relative path for test-driver in Makefile to work on target. $top_builddir
can guarantee this path.
