Description

If an egg is already in cache, it will not be downloaded again even if you run `chicken-install -test` later. This means the tests won't be run if you fetched it without tests before (as chicken-install thinks there are no tests).

Example:

 $ chicken-install -retrieve bind
 bind located at /home/peter/.chicken-install/cache/bind
 $ chicken-install -test bind
 .... <installs, but no tests are run> ....

Actually, this also happens when retrieving an egg implicitly when you install it for the first time without `-test` and then re-install it with `-test`.

Either we need to somehow record if the egg was retrieved with or without tests, and re-retrieve it if the tests are missing, or simply make `-test` implied when fetching the egg.
