Remove a suggestion to write new commands in Perl or Shell to
experiment. This advice was added in 6d0618a820a (Add
Documentation/CodingGuidelines, 2007-11-08).
Since then the consensus changed to having no new such commands unless
necessary, and existing ones have been actively migrated to C.
So this isn't a new proposal or a suggestion to change the coding
style, but bringing this stale part of the CodingGuidelines in line
with reality.

V1 of this was misencoded. I sent it as UTF-8 with
charset=ISO-2022-JP.
I'd been hacking the test-lib.sh, and at one point it escaped its
quarantine and started setting config in my main git.git, and I'd
managed to miss that i18n.logOutputEncoding encoding variable when cleaning it up.
Range-diff against v1:
