* add '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' to keyboards/quefrency/rev1/config.h

* add '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' to keyboards/qwertyydox/config.h,keyboards/qwertyydox/rev1/config.h

* add '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' to keyboards/redox/rev1/config.h

* add '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' to keyboards/rorschach/rev1/config.h

* remove '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' from quantum/split_common/serial_backward_compatibility.h

* remove temporary file quantum/split_common/split-keyboards-list.txt

* remove temporary compile test shell script

* Revert "remove temporary compile test shell script"

This reverts commit 15b0021b4092127b8d8a21f572642ad3702b46d4.

* update quantum/split_common/compile_split_test.sh for new keyboard test

* add '#define SOFT_SERIAL_PIN D0' to keyboards/diverge3/config.h
