Stefano Sabatini ec76ef5ae2 fate.txt: replace FATE rsync command with a make command
Remove reference to the mplayerhq.hu rsync command, and replace it
with a reference to the make fate-rsync command.

rsync needs still to be enabled on mplayerhq.hu, and it is currently
not working. Also the fate-rsync Makefile target can be easily updated
without the need to keep the docs in synch.

FATE Automated Testing Environment
FATE provides a regression testsuite that can be run locally or configured
to send reports to fate.ffmpeg.org.
In order to run, it needs a large amount of data (samples and references)
that is provided separately from the actual source distribution.
Use the following command to get the fate test samples
# make fate-rsync SAMPLES=fate-suite/
To inform the build system about the testsuite location, pass
`--samples=<path to the samples>` to configure or set the SAMPLES Make
variable or the FATE_SAMPLES environment variable to a suitable value.
For information on how to set up FATE to send results to the official FFmpeg
testing framework, please refer to the following wiki page:
http://wiki.multimedia.cx/index.php?title=FATE
FATE Makefile targets:
fate-list
Will list all fate/regression test targets.
fate
Run the FATE test suite (requires the fate-suite dataset).
Fate Makefile variables:
V
Verbosity level, can be set to 0, 1 or 2.
* 0: show just the test arguments
* 1: show just the command used in the test
* 2: show everything
SAMPLES
Specify or override the path to the FATE samples at make time, it has a
meaning only while running the regression tests.
THREADS
Specify how many threads to use while running regression tests, it is
quite useful to detect thread-related regressions.
Example:
make V=1 SAMPLES=/var/fate/samples THREADS=2 fate
