We have a bunch of tests that use Perl to perform substitution via the
"s/" operator. These usecases can be trivially replaced with sed(1) and
tr(1).
Refactor the tests accordingly so that we can drop a couple of
PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisites.

In the early days of Git, Perl was used quite prominently throughout the
project. This has changed significantly as almost all of the executables
we ship nowadays have eventually been rewritten in C. Only a handful of
subsystems remain that require Perl:
- gitweb, a read-only web interface.
- A couple of scripts that allow importing repositories from GNU Arch,
CVS and Subversion.
- git-send-email(1), which can be used to send mails.
- git-request-pull(1), which is used to request somebody to pull from
a URL by sending an email.
- git-filter-branch(1), which uses Perl with the `--state-branch`
option. This command is typically recommended against nowadays in
favor of git-filter-repo(1).
- Our Perl bindings for Git.
- The netrc Git credential helper.
None of these subsystems can really be considered to be part of the
"core" of Git, and an installation without them is fully functional.
It is more likely than not that an end user wouldn't even notice that
any features are missing if those tools weren't installed. But while
Perl nowadays very much is an optional dependency of Git, there is a
significant limitation when Perl isn't available: developers cannot run
our test suite.
Preceding commits have started to lift this restriction by removing the
strict dependency on Perl in many central parts of the test library. But
there are still many tests that rely on small Perl helpers to do various
different things.
Introduce a new PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite that guards all tests
that require Perl. This prerequisite is explicitly different than the
preexisting PERL prerequisite:
- PERL records whether or not features depending on the Perl
interpreter are built.
- PERL_TEST_HELPERS records whether or not a Perl interpreter is
available for our tests.
By having these two separate prerequisites we can thus distinguish
between tests that inherently depend on Perl because the underlying
feature does, and those tests that depend on Perl because the test
itself is using Perl.
Adapt all tests to set the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite as needed.

command substitution
The Git CodingGuidelines prefer the $(...) construct for command
substitution instead of using the backquotes `...`.
The backquoted form is the traditional method for command
substitution, and is supported by POSIX. However, all but the
simplest uses become complicated quickly. In particular, embedded
command substitutions and/or the use of double quotes require
careful escaping with the backslash character.
The patch was generated by:
for _f in $(find . -name "*.sh")
do
perl -i -pe 'BEGIN{undef $/;} s/`(.+?)`/\$(\1)/smg' "${_f}"
done
and then carefully proof-read.

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:
ln -s /bin/false bin-wrappers/perl
make test
which continues to pass even after this patch.

Otherwise it will be split at a space after "Program" when it is set
to "\\Program Files\perl" or something silly like that.

GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS defines PERL_PATH to be used in the test suite. Only a
few tests already actually use this variable when perl is needed. The
other test just call 'perl' and it might happen that the wrong perl
interpreter is used.
This becomes problematic on Windows, when the perl interpreter that is
compiled and installed on the Windows system is used, because this perl
interpreter might introduce some unexpected LF->CRLF conversions.
This patch makes sure that $PERL_PATH is used everywhere in the test suite
and that the correct perl interpreter is used.

Fixed all places where it was a straightforward change from cd'ing into a
directory and back via "cd .." to a cd inside a subshell.
Found these places with "git grep -w "cd \.\.".

I have tweaked configuration in my ~/.subversion directory, namely I am
running auto-properties and automatically adding '$Id$' expansion to
every file. This choke the last test named 'proplist' from
t9101-git-svn-props.sh, because one more property, svn:keywords is
automatically added.
I had just wrapped svn invocation with the svn_cmd that specifies empty
directory via --config-dir argument. Since the latter is the global
option, it should be recognized by all svn subcommands, so no
regressions will be introduced.
Now svn_cmd is used everywhere, not just in the failed test module: this
should guard us from the future clashes with user-defined configuration
tweaks.

In order to selectively skip tests, the environment variable GIT_SKIP_TESTS
can be set like this:
$ GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t1301 t4150.18' make test
That is, its value can contain only the test script numbers, but not the
full script name. Therefore, it is important that the test scripts are
uniquely numbered. This makes it so.
