[racket-dev] Things we could move out of the core

One fairly clear thing is that the mzlib manual can move into the
compatibility-lib.

We could move the mzlib-specific files from (the collection) tests/racket
into a new tests/mzlib and put that into the compatibility-lib.

But that probably requires actual adjustments because tests/racket is
load-based ...

Probably all of the mzlib-specific tests could be made to run in a #lang
context without too much trouble, tho.
