[PATCH 2/2] test-lib.sh: Allow running the test suite against installed git

From
Michael J Gruber <git@drmicha.warpmail.net>

Introduce variables externalpath and externalexecpath such that the test suite can be run against a git which is installed at $externalpath with subcommands at $externalexecpath. externalpath defaults to the git.git checkout, externalexecpath defaults to $externalpath. Run the suite as

externalpath=somepath externalexecpath=someotherpath make test

but note that this requires and uses parts of a compiled git in the git.git checkout: test helpers, templates and perl libraries are taken from there.
