Subject: [PATCH] lint: check-tests-true: Allow #:tests? #t for
 emacs-build-system.

emacs-build-system sets #:tests? #f by default, so the linter
shouldn't warn if #:tests? #t is set for packages using
emacs-build-system.

* guix/lint.scm (check-tests-true): Do not warn if the build system
  is emacs-build-system.
