Remove the "test_external" function added in [1]. This arguably makes
the output of t9700-perl-git.sh and friends worse. But as we'll argue
below the trade-off is worth it, since "chaining" to another TAP
emitter in test-lib.sh is more trouble than it's worth.
The new output of t9700-perl-git.sh is now:
$ ./t9700-perl-git.sh
ok 1 - set up test repository
ok 2 - use t9700/test.pl to test Git.pm
# passed all 2 test(s)
1..2
Whereas before this change it would be:
$ ./t9700-perl-git.sh
ok 1 - set up test repository
# run 1: Perl API (perl /home/avar/g/git/t/t9700/test.pl)
ok 2 - use Git;
[... omitting tests 3..46 from t/t9700/test.pl ...]
ok 47 - unquote escape sequences
1..47
# test_external test Perl API was ok
# test_external_without_stderr test no stderr: Perl API was ok
At the time of its addition supporting "test_external" was easy, but
when test-lib.sh itself started to emit TAP in [2] we needed to make
everything surrounding the emission of the plan consider
"test_external". I added that support in [2] so that we could run:
prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v
But since then in [3] the door has been closed on combining
$HARNESS_ACTIVE and -v, we'll now just die:
$ prove ./t9700-perl-git.sh :: -v
Bailout called. Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
FAILED--Further testing stopped: verbose mode forbidden under TAP harness; try --verbose-log
So the only use of this has been that *if* we had failure in one of
these tests we could e.g. in CI see which test failed based on the
test number. Now we'll need to look at the full verbose logs to get
that same information.
I think this trade-off is acceptable given the reduction in
complexity, and it brings these tests in line with other similar
tests, e.g. the reftable tests added in [4] will be condensed down to
just one test, which invokes the C helper:
$ ./t0032-reftable-unittest.sh
ok 1 - unittests
# passed all 1 test(s)
1..1
It would still be nice to have that ":: -v" form work again, it
never *really* worked, but even though we've had edge cases test
output screwing up the TAP it mostly worked between d998bd4ab6 and
[3], so we may have been overzealous in forbidding it outright.
I have local patches which I'm planning to submit sooner than later
that get us to that goal, and in a way that isn't buggy. In the
meantime getting rid of this special case makes hacking on this area
of test-lib.sh easier, as we'll do in subsequent commits.
The switch from "perl" to "$PERL_PATH" here is because "perl" is
defined as a shell function in the test suite, see a5bf824f3b (t:
prevent '-x' tracing from interfering with test helpers' stderr,
2018-02-25). On e.g. the OSX CI the "command perl"... will be part of
the emitted stderr.

Since the original "perl -MTest::More" prerequisite check was added in
[1] it's been copy/pasted in [2], [3] and [4]. As we'll be changing
these codepaths in a subsequent commit let's consolidate these.
While we're at it let's move these to a lazy prereq, and make them
conform to our usual coding style (e.g. "\nthen", not "; then").

The netrc test.pl script calls git-credential-netrc which imports the
Git module. Pass GITPERLLIB to git-credential-netrc via PERL5LIB to
ensure the in-tree Git module is used for testing.

git-credential-netrc was hardcoded to decrypt with 'gpg' regardless of
the gpg.program option. This is a problem on distributions like Debian
that call modern GnuPG something else, like 'gpg2'.
Set the command according to these settings in descending precedence
1. the git-credential-netrc command -g|--gpg option
2. the git gpg.program configuration option
3. the default: 'gpg'
For conformance with Documentation/CodingGuidelines
- use Git.pm for repository and global option queries
- document -g|--gpg command option in command usage
- test repository & command options
- write documentation placeholders according to main standards
