[PATCH] t/test-lib: print pretty msg when git isn't built

When tests were run without building git, the following error message was displayed:

    .: 54: Can't open /path/to/git/source/t/../GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS
Change this to display a more user-friendly error message:
     error: you do not seem to have built git yet.
