```
Change the git-svn tests to use $PERL_PATH, not the "perl" in $PATH.

Using perl in $PATH was added by Sam Vilain in v1.6.6-rc0~95^2~3,
Philippe Bruhat introduced $PERL_PATH to the test suite in
v1.6.6-rc0~9^2, but the lib-git-svn.sh tests weren't updated to use
the new convention.

This resulted in the git-svn tests always being skipped on my
system. My /usr/bin/perl has access to SVN::Core and SVN::Repos, but
the perl in my $PATH does not.

Thanks.  Other test scripts (and the insn in t/README) refer to PERL_PATH
already and t/test-lib.sh includes build options for its definition, so
this should be complete.

There's actually a lot more (most of these):

    $ ack -l '\bperl.*-\w*e' *sh
    annotate-tests.sh
    diff-lib.sh
    gitweb-lib.sh
    lib-t6000.sh
    t1010-mktree.sh
    t1300-repo-config.sh
    t3300-funny-names.sh
    t4012-diff-binary.sh
    t4014-format-patch.sh
    t4020-diff-external.sh
    t4029-diff-trailing-space.sh
    t4030-diff-textconv.sh
    t4031-diff-rewrite-binary.sh
    t4103-apply-binary.sh
    t4116-apply-reverse.sh
    t4200-rerere.sh
    t5300-pack-object.sh
    t5303-pack-corruption-resilience.sh
    t6011-rev-list-with-bad-commit.sh
    t6013-rev-list-reverse-parents.sh
    t6300-for-each-ref.sh
    t9104-git-svn-follow-parent.sh
    t9119-git-svn-info.sh
    t9129-git-svn-i18n-commitencoding.sh
    t9137-git-svn-dcommit-clobber-series.sh
    t9143-git-svn-gc.sh
    test-lib.sh

But they're all using standard features of perl for one-liners. It's a
reasonable assumption that we can use the perl in $PATH in those
cases. But maybe we should change those too.
