[PATCH/RFC] t0060: basename("//") is implementation defined

From

Message-ID
<1452718561-32226-1-git-send-email-tboegi@web.de>
From: Torsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de>

From http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/basename.html basename("//") may return either "//" or "/".

Linux returns "/", some systems like Mac OS X return "//". Skip the test unless NO_LIBGEN_H is set and gitbasename() from compat/basename is used.
