[PATCH] t3404: fix use of "VAR=VAL cmd" with a shell function

Bash may take it happily but running test with dash reveals a breakage.

This was not discovered for a long time as no tests after this test depended on GIT_AUTHOR_NAME to be reverted correctly back to the original value after this step is done.

 * We could enclose the setting and exporting inside a subshell and
   do without the oGIT_AUTHOR_NAME temporary variable, but that
   would interfere with the timestamp increments done by
   test_commit, so I think doing it this way may be preferrable.
