[PATCH v2] t9300: use test_cmp_bin instead of test_cmp to compare binary files

test_cmp is intended to produce diff output for human consumption. The input in one instance in t9300-fast-import.sh are binary files, however. Use test_cmp_bin to compare the files.

This was noticed because on Windows we have a special implementation of test_cmp in pure bash code (to ignore differences due to intermittent CR in actual output), and bash runs into an infinite loop due to the binary nature of the input.

Of course! I did remember that there was talk about it, but missed that we actually implemented it. Sorry.
