[GSoC PATCH] t9200: handle missing CVS with skip_all

CVS initialization runs outside a test_expect_success and when it fails, the error report isn't good.

Wrap CVS initialization in a skip_all check so when CVS initialization fails, the error report becomes clearer.

Move the Git repo initialization into its own test_expect_success instead of being in the same CVS check.
