[PATCH 2/2] Fix sed usage in tests to work around broken xpg4/sed on Solaris

The space following the last / in a sed command caused Solaris' xpg4/sed to fail, claiming the program was garbled and exit with status 2:

% echo 'foo' | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e 's/foo/bar/ ' sed: command garbled: s/foo/bar/ % echo $? 2

Fix this by simply removing the unnecessary space.

Additionally, in 99094a7a, a trivial && breakage was fixed. This exposed a problem with the test when run on Solaris with xpg4/sed that had gone silently undetected since its introduction in e4bd10b2. Solaris' sed executes the requested substitution but prints a warning about the missing newline at the end of the file and exits with status 2.

% echo "CHANGE_ME" | \ tr -d "\\012" | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e 's/CHANGE_ME/change_me/' sed: Missing newline at end of file standard input. change_me % echo $? 2

To work around this, use perl to execute the substitution instead. By using inplace replacement, we can subsequently drop the mv command.
