Subject: [PATCH 2/4] fetch-cobolcheck-fixes:

- Renamed bin/sync-fetch-cobolcheck-files to bin/sync-exercise-files and
  added synchronization for test.sh and test.ps1 files.
- Added bin/exercise_test.sh and bin/exercise_test.ps1 as templates for
  test.sh and test.ps1 respectively.
- Changed cobolcheck location to $HOME/cobolcheck/cobolcheck{,exe}.
