make test: print a warning in case a core_pattern contains a filter program
The default config on Ubuntu 16.04.4 desktop results in truncated cores
when running make test which coredumps. Uninstalling the filter program
(apport) makes the corefiles normal size. Print a warning about that fact,
so the others potentially affected didn't have to wonder.
