Formalize our dependency on perl 5.8, bumped from 5.6.[12]. We already
used the three-arg form of open() which was introduced in 5.6.1, but
t/t9700/test.pl explicitly depended on 5.6.2.
However git-add--interactive.pl has been failing on the 5.6 line since
it was introduced in v1.5.0-rc0~12^2~2 back in 2006 due to this open
syntax:
sub run_cmd_pipe {
my $fh = undef;
open($fh, '-|', @_) or die;
return <$fh>;
}
Which when executed dies on "Can't use an undefined value as
filehandle reference". Several of our tests also fail on 5.6 (even
more when compiled with NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=1):
t2016-checkout-patch.sh
t3904-stash-patch.sh
t3701-add-interactive.sh
t7105-reset-patch.sh
t7501-commit.sh
t9700-perl-git.sh
Our code is bitrotting on 5.6 with no-one interested in fixing it, and
pinning us to such an ancient release of Perl is keeping us from using
useful features introduced in the 5.8 release.
The 5.6 series is now over 10 years old, and the 5.6.2 maintenance
release almost 7. 5.8 on the other hand is more than 8 years old.
All the modern Unix-like operating systems have now upgraded to it or
a later version, and 5.8 packages are available for old IRIX, AIX
Solaris and Tru64 systems.

This test is accessing private object members of the Test::More and
Test::Builder objects. Older versions of Test::More did not implement
these variables using a hash.
My system complains as follows:
Can't coerce array into hash at <snip>/t/t9700/test.pl line 13.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at <snip>/t/t9700/test.pl line 15.
There are public access methods available for retrieving and setting these
variables, so let's use them instead.

$Test::Builder::Test was only made into an `our' variable in 0.94
released in September 2009, older distros are more likely to have 0.92
or earlier. Use the singleton Test::More->builder constructor instead.
The exit() call was also unportable to <0.94. Just output a meaningful
exit code if the ->is_passing method exists. The t9700-perl-git.sh
test only cares about stderr output, so this doesn't affect test
results when using older Test::More modules.

Before TAP we just ran the Perl test and assumed that it failed if
nothing was printed on STDERR. Continue doing that, but introduce a
`test_external_has_tap' variable which tests can set to indicate that
they're outputting TAP.
If it's set we won't output a test plan, but trust the external test
to do so. That way we can make external tests work with a TAP harness,
but still maintain compatibility with test-lib's own way of tracking
tests through the test-results directory.

The t/t9700/test.pl script uses method invocation syntax when
using the Cwd module to determine the current working directory.
This fails on cygwin, since cygwin perl specifically checks for
any arguments to the cwd() function and croak()'s with the message
"Usage: Cwd::cwd()". (In perl v5.8.8 distribution, see the file
perl-5.8.8/cygwin/cygwin.c lines 139-157)
In order to avoid the problem, we replace the method invocation
syntax with a simple function call.

So far we only set it to absolute paths in some cases which lead
to problems like wc_chdir not working.

Otherwise git will use the current directory as work tree which will
lead to unexpected results if we operate in sub directory of the
work tree.

The object oriented version of File::Temp is a rather new incarnation it
seems. The File::Temp man page for v5.8.0 says "(NOT YET IMPLEMENTED)" in
the 'Objects' section. Instead of creating a file with a unique name in
the system TMPDIR, we can create our own temporary file with a static
name and use that instead.

Some versions of perl complain when 'STDERR' is used as the third argument
in the 3-argument form of open(). Convert to the 2-argument form which is
described for duping STDERR in my second edition camel book.

t9700 used to check if the basename of the current directory is
'trash directory', the expensive way.
However, there is absolutely no good reason why this test should not
run in, say 'life is good' or 'i love tests'. So remove the check
altogether.

Add a shell script (t/t9700-perl-git.sh) that sets up a git repository
