Let tests find the application path without extra args 

Currently the path of the application to be tested always had to
be specified either manually using the -a argument or by running
the tests via the build system targets. The first option is annoying
and the second option not so nice when using Qt Creator and the
debugger.

This commit makes tests assume the application to be tested is
called like the test executable itself, just without "_tests"-suffix.
