In a previous commit the functionality for fixing this regression was
implemented, so add a test for it and the relevant infrastructure.
This new test file is meant to be run in CI and checks for a SUDO
prerequisite which requires a passwordless configuration if run
locally, but that is common there.
It could be run locally by first running sudo, so the credentials are
temporarily cached and then running it as :
$ IKNOWWHATIAMDOING=YES ./t0034-root-safe-directory.sh
It is slightly ackward as it needs to clean up after itself since the
test framework would fail to do its own cleanup otherwise, and for
simplicity creates its own subtree while ignoring the one provided by
the framework, but doing some better integration has been punted.
