Provide a DEFAULT_EDITOR knob to allow setting the fallback
editor to use instead of vi (when VISUAL, EDITOR, and GIT_EDITOR
are unset). The value can be set at build time according to a
system’s policy. For example, on Debian systems, the default
editor should be the 'editor' command.

Refuse to use $VISUAL and fall back to $EDITOR if TERM is unset
or set to "dumb". Traditionally, VISUAL is set to a screen
editor and EDITOR to a line-based editor, which should be more
useful in that situation.
vim, for example, is happy to assume a terminal supports ANSI
sequences even if TERM is dumb (e.g., when running from a text
editor like Acme). git already refuses to fall back to vi on a
dumb terminal if GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, VISUAL, and EDITOR are
unset, but without this patch, that check is suppressed by
VISUAL=vi.

The test sets up various shell scripts and uses them as commit message
editors. On Windows, we need a shebang line in order to recognize the
files as executable shell scripts. This adds it.

There were some uses of 'say' inside test_expect_success. But if the tests
were not run in verbose mode, this message went to /dev/null. Pull them out
of test_expect_success.

In commit 15387e3 (Test suite: reset TERM to its previous value after
testing., 2007-10-26), I added a workaround to reset TERM to its previous
value before the "test_done" at the end of "t7005-editor.sh" because
otherwise "test_done" would have printed the test result with a bad TERM
env variable (this resulted in output with no color on konsole).
But since commit c2116a1 (test-lib: fix TERM to dumb for test
repeatability, 2008-03-06), colored output is printed in a subshell with
TERM reset to its original value so the earlier workaround is not needed
anymore.

The construct
sh -c "$0 \"$@\"" <editor> <file>
does not pick up quotes in <editor>, so you cannot give path to the
editor that has a shell IFS whitespace in it, and also give it initial
set of parameters and flags. Replace $0 with <editor> to fix this issue.
This fixes
git config core.editor '"c:/Program Files/What/Ever.exe"'
In other words, you can specify an editor with spaces in its path using a
config containing something like this:
[core]
editor = \"c:/Program Files/Darn/Spaces.exe\"
NOTE: we cannot just replace the $0 with \"$0\", because we still want
this to work:
[core]
editor = emacs -nw

The git wrapper executable always prepends the GIT_EXEC_PATH build
variable to the current PATH, so prepending "." to the PATH is not
enough to give precedence to the fake vi executable.
The --exec-path option allows to prepend a directory to PATH even before
GIT_EXEC_PATH (which is added anyway), so we can use that instead.

These variables let you specify an editor that will be launched in
preference to the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables. The order
of preference is GIT_EDITOR, core.editor, EDITOR, VISUAL.
