This function abstracts the idea of running a command
outside of any repository (which is slightly awkward to do
because even if you make a non-repo directory, git may keep
walking up outside of the trash directory). There are
several scripts that use the same technique, so let's make
the function available for everyone.

The test framework learned a new helper test_match_signal to
check an exit code from getting killed by an expected signal.
* jk/test-match-signal:
t/lib-git-daemon: use test_match_signal
test_must_fail: use test_match_signal
t0005: use test_match_signal as appropriate
tests: factor portable signal check out of t0005
In 8bf4bec (add "ok=sigpipe" to test_must_fail and use it to
fix flaky tests, 2015-11-27), test_must_fail learned to
recognize "141" as a sigpipe failure. However, testing for
a signal is more complicated than that; we should use
test_match_signal to implement more portable checking.

In POSIX shells, a program which exits due to a signal
generally has an exit code of 128 plus the signal number.
However, ksh uses 256 plus the signal number. We've
accounted for that in t0005, but not in other tests. Let's
pull out the logic so we can use it elsewhere.
It would be nice for debugging if this additionally printed
errors to stderr, like our other test_* helpers. But we're
going to need to use it in other places besides the innards
of a test_expect block. So let's leave it as generic as
possible.
Note that we also leave the magic "3" for Windows out of the
generic helper. This is an artifact of the way we use
raise() to kill ourselves in test-sigchain.c, and will not
necessarily apply to all programs. So it's better to keep it
out of the helper, to reduce the chance of confusing it with
a real call to exit(3).

It is sometimes useful to be able to read exactly N bytes from a
pipe. Doing this portably turns out to be surprisingly difficult
in shell scripts.
We want a solution that:
- is portable
- never reads more than N bytes due to buffering (which
would mean those bytes are not available to the next
program to read from the same pipe)
- handles partial reads by looping until N bytes are read
(or we see EOF)
- is resilient to stray signals giving us EINTR while
trying to read (even though we don't send them, things
like SIGWINCH could cause apparently-random failures)
Some possible solutions are:
- "head -c" is not portable, and implementations may
buffer (though GNU head does not)
- "read -N" is a bash-ism, and thus not portable
- "dd bs=$n count=1" does not handle partial reads. GNU dd
has iflags=fullblock, but that is not portable
- "dd bs=1 count=$n" fixes the partial read problem (all
reads are 1-byte, so there can be no partial response).
It does make a lot of write() calls, but for our tests
that's unlikely to matter. It's fairly portable. We
already use it in our tests, and it's unlikely that
implementations would screw up any of our criteria. The
most unknown one would be signal handling.
- perl can do a sysread() loop pretty easily. On my Linux
system, at least, it seems to restart the read() call
automatically. If that turns out not to be portable,
though, it would be easy for us to handle it.
That makes the perl solution the least bad (because we
conveniently omitted "length of code" as a criterion).
It's also what t9300 is currently using, so we can just pull
the implementation from there.

The one-shot environment variable syntax:
FOO=BAR some-program
is unportable when some-program is actually a shell
function, like test_must_fail (on some shells FOO remains
set after the function returns, and on others it does not).
We sometimes get around this by using env, like:
test_must_fail env FOO=BAR some-program
But that only works because test_must_fail's arguments are
themselves a command which can be run. You can't run:
env FOO=BAR test_must_fail some-program
because env does not know about our shell functions. So
there is no equivalent for test_commit, for example, and one
must resort to:
(
FOO=BAR
export FOO
test_commit
)
which is a bit verbose. Let's add a version of "env" that
works _inside_ the shell, by creating a subshell, exporting
variables from its argument list, and running the command.
Its use is demonstrated on a currently-unportable case in
t4014.

We never used the "letters" form since we came up with "test_seq" to
replace use of non-portable "seq" in our test script, which we
introduced it at d17cf5f3 (tests: Introduce test_seq, 2012-08-04).
We use this helper to either iterate for N times (i.e. the values on
the lines do not even matter), or just to get N distinct strings
(i.e. the values on the lines themselves do not really matter, but
we care that they are different from each other and reproducible).
Stop promising that we may allow using "letters"; this would open an
easier reimplementation that does not rely on $PERL, if somebody
later wants to.

t5516 "75 - deny fetch unreachable SHA1, allowtipsha1inwant=true" is
flaky in the following case:
1. remote upload-pack finds out "not our ref"
2. remote sends a response and closes the pipe
3. fetch-pack still tries to write commands to the remote upload-pack
4. write call in wrapper.c dies with SIGPIPE
The test is flaky because the sending fetch-pack may or may
not have finished writing its output by step (3). If it did,
then we see a closed pipe on the next read() call. If it
didn't, then we get the SIGPIPE from step (4) above. Both
are fine, but the latter fools test_must_fail.
t5504 "9 - push with transfer.fsckobjects" is flaky, too, and returns
SIGPIPE once in a while. I had to remove the final "To dst..." output

We have a helper function test_ln_s_add that inserts a symbolic link

There is a small flaw in the emulation path: the added entry does not
pick up stat information of the fake symbolic link from the file system,
as a consequence, the index is not exactly the same as for the "regular"
path (where symbolic links are available). To fix this, just call
git update-index again.

compare_diff_raw(), because a test case in t4008 depends on the

test_cmp() is primarily meant to compare text files (and display the
difference for debug purposes).
Raw "cmp" is better suited to compare binary files (tar, zip, etc.).
On MinGW, test_cmp is a shell function mingw_test_cmp that tries to
read both files into environment, stripping CR characters (introduced
in commit 4d715ac0).
This function usually speeds things up, as fork is extremly slow on
Windows. But no wonder that this function is extremely slow and
sometimes even crashes when comparing large tar or zip files.

We do not run the httpd nor git-daemon tests by default, as
they are rather heavyweight and require network access
(albeit over localhost). However, it would be nice if more
pepole ran them, for two reasons:
1. We would get more test coverage on more systems.
2. The point of the test suite is to find regressions. It
is very easy to change some of the underlying code and
break the httpd code without realizing you are even
affecting it. Running the httpd tests helps find these
problems sooner (ideally before the patches even hit
the list).
We still want to leave an "out", though, for people who really do
not want to run them. For that reason, the GIT_TEST_HTTPD and
GIT_TEST_GIT_DAEMON variables are now tri-state booleans
(true/false/auto), so you can say GIT_TEST_HTTPD=false to turn the
tests back off. To support those who want a stable single way to
disable these tests across versions of Git before and after this
change, an empty string explicitly set to these variables is also
taken as "false", so the behaviour changes only for those who:
a. did not express any preference by leaving these variables
unset. They did not test these features before, but now they
do; or
b. did express that they want to test these features by setting
GIT_TEST_FEATURE=false (or any equivalent other ways to tell
"false" to Git, e.g. "0"), which has been a valid but funny way
to say that they do want to test the feature only because we
used to interpret any non-empty string to mean "yes please
test". They no longer test that feature.
In addition, we are forgiving of common setup failures (e.g., you do
not have apache installed, or have an old version) when the
tri-state is "auto" (or unset), but report an error when it is
"true". This makes "auto" a sane default, as we should not cause
failures on setups where the tests cannot run. But it allows people
who use "true" to catch regressions in their system (e.g., they
uninstalled apache, but were expecting their automated test runs to
test git-httpd, and would want to be notified).

As of the last commit, we can use "perl" instead of
"$PERL_PATH" when running tests, as the former is now a
function which uses the latter. As the shorter "perl" is
easier on the eyes, let's switch to using it everywhere.
This is not quite a mechanical s/$PERL_PATH/perl/
replacement, though. There are some places where we invoke
perl from a script we generate on the fly, and those scripts
do not have access to our internal shell functions. The
result can be double-checked by running:

Once upon a time, we assumed that calling a bare "perl" in
the test scripts was OK, because we would find the perl from
the user's PATH, and we were only asking that perl to do
basic operations that work even on old versions of perl.
Later, we found that some systems really prefer to use
$PERL_PATH even for these basic cases, because the system
perl misbehaves in some way (e.g., by handling line endings
differently). We then switched "perl" invocations to
"$PERL_PATH" to respect the user's choice.
Having to use "$PERL_PATH" is ugly and cumbersome, though.
Instead, let's provide a perl() shell function that tests
can use, which will transparently do the right thing.
Unfortunately, test writers still have to use $PERL_PATH in
certain situations, so we still need to keep the advice in
the README.
Note that this may fix test failures in t5004, t5503, t6002,
t6003, t6300, t8001, and t8002, depending on your system's
perl setup. All of these can be detected by running:

make test

In a number of tests, output that was produced by a shell script is
compared to expected output using test_cmp. Unfortunately, the MSYS bash--
when invoked via git, such as in hooks--converts LF to CRLF on output
(as produced by echo and printf), which leads to many false positives.
Implements a diff tool that undoes the converted CRLF. To avoid that
sub-processes are spawned (which is very slow on Windows), the tool is
implemented as a shell function. Diff is invoked as usual only when a
difference is detected by the shell code.
