test:Improve test behaviors when --root is used
Change add_email_corpus, emacs_deliver_message and tests to use

This improves the behavior of the usage of --root=<dir>, as the
assumption of what '..' means will usually be incorrect.
Document -root option in README and update valgrind to work with
-root.
