Removing 'test-tool sha256' would break many tests in t53** when
GIT_TEST_DEFAULT_HASH=sha256, because it is used in pack_trailer():t/lib-pack.sh.

```
    pack_trailer () {
	    test-tool $(test_oid algo) -b <"$1" >trailer.tmp &&
	    cat trailer.tmp >>"$1" &&
	    rm -f trailer.tmp
    }
```

Also, I am planning to take over this series, so I will take care of this.

Thanks.
