`echo -n` is non-portable. The POSIX specification says:
Conforming applications that wish to do prompting without <newline>
characters or that could possibly be expecting to echo a -n, should
use the printf utility derived from the Ninth Edition system.
Since all of the affected shell scripts use a POSIX shell shebang,
replace `echo -n` invocations with printf.

ae75342 test-lib: rearrange start/end of test_expect_* and test_skip
changed the way tests are started/stopped, but did not update the perf
tests. They were therefore giving the wrong output, because of the
wrong test count. Fix this by starting and stopping the tests
correctly.

The malloc checks in tests are currently disabled. Actually evaluate
the variable for turning them off and enable them if it's unset.
Also use this opportunity to give it the more descriptive and
consistent name TEST_NO_MALLOC_CHECK.

The most important in this change is to avoid affecting anything
when test-lib is used from perf-lib. It also limits the effect of
the MALLOC_CHECK only to what is run inside the actual test, and
uses a fixed MALLOC_PERTURB_ in order to avoid hurting repeatability
of the tests.

The seq command is GNU-ism, and is missing at least in older BSD

We already purged it in b3431bc (Don't use seq in tests, not
everyone has it, 2007-05-02), but a few new instances have crept
in. They went unnoticed because they are in scripts that are not
run by default.
Replace them with test_seq that is implemented with a Perl snippet
(proposed by Jeff). This is better than inlining this snippet
everywhere it's needed because it's easier to read and it's easier
to change the implementation (e.g. to C) if we ever decide to remove
Perl from the test suite.
Note that test_seq is not a complete replacement for seq(1). It
just has what we need now, in addition that it makes it possible for
us to do something like "test_seq a m" if we wanted to in the
future.
There are also many places that do `for i in 1 2 3 ...` but I'm not sure
if it's worth converting them to test_seq. That would introduce running
more processes of Perl.

The only bug right now is that $GIT_TEST_CMP is needed for test_cmp to
work.
However, we also export the three most important paths for tests:
TEST_DIRECTORY
TRASH_DIRECTORY
GIT_BUILD_DIR
Since they are available within test_expect_success, a future test
writer may expect them to also be defined in test_perf.

Loading it in the subshells still referred to $TEST_DIRECTORY/..,

This introduces a performance testing framework under t/perf/. It
tries to be as close to the test-lib.sh infrastructure as possible,
and thus should be easy to get used to for git developers.
The following points were considered for the implementation:
1. You usually want to compare arbitrary revisions/build trees against
each other. They may not have the performance test under
consideration, or even the perf-lib.sh infrastructure.
To cope with this, the 'run' script lets you specify arbitrary
build dirs and revisions. It even automatically builds the revisions
if it doesn't have them at hand yet.
2. Usually you would not want to run all tests. It would take too
long anyway. The 'run' script lets you specify which tests to run;
or you can also do it manually. There is a Makefile for
discoverability and 'make clean', but it is not meant for
real-world use.
3. Creating test repos from scratch in every test is extremely
time-consuming, and shipping or downloading such large/weird repos
is out of the question.
We leave this decision to the user. Two different sizes of test
repos can be configured, and the scripts just copy one or more of
those (using hardlinks for the object store). By default it tries
to use the build tree's git.git repository.
This is fairly fast and versatile. Using a copy instead of a clone
preserves many properties that the user may want to test for, such
as lots of loose objects, unpacked refs, etc.
