Following Fred's change, client tests now need to be run from
build/main/ntpcllients rather than the source directory. I have pushed
a change to tests/options-tester.sh that does this; please verify.

There's a small loss of convennience here that I regret, but updates to the
Python service libraries already required a waf build.  It's more consistent
that changes to the front ends do too, and eliminates an error where you
don't get updated libraries because that step was forgotten.
