The sed script intended to add a standard opening to python scripts
was non-compatible and overly complex. Simplifying it down to a set
of one-liners removes the compatibility issues of newlines. Moving
the environment alterations from the Makefile to the python scripts
makes also makes the scripts easier to run in-place.
Specifically, the new sed script:
- Alters the shebang line to use the configured Python.
- Alters any os.getenv("GITPYTHONLIB") calls to use @@INSTLIBDIR@@ as the
default. This will replace any existing default or add a default if
none is provided.
- Replaces the @@INSTLIBDIR@@ placeholder with the directory git installs
its python libraries to.
The last two steps could be combined into a single step, but is left
separate in case someone has another need for @@INSTLIBDIR@@ in their
script.

Currently the remote helper infrastructure is only used by the curl
helper, which does not give a good impression of how remote helpers
can be used to interact with foreign repositories. Since implementing
such a helper is non-trivial it would be good to have at least one
easy-to-follow example demonstrating how to implement a helper that
interacts with a foreign vcs using fast-import/fast-export.
The testgit helper can be used to interact with remote git
repositories by prefixing the url with "testgit::".
