tests: fix PATH problems on cygwin

* tests/misc/sort-compress: Remove non-portable over-restriction
of PATH; besides, commit 3ea177e changed sort to no longer default
to gzip.
* tests/rm/fail-eperm: Untaint, rather than clear, PATH.
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Likewise.  Also skip test if long path
cannot be created.
(normalize_to_cwd_relative): Use eq rather than ==, since cygwin
perl doesn't properly handle 64-bit ino_t numerically.
