Originally, the conditional definition of the setup/teardown functions
for malloc checking could be run at any time, because they depended only
on command-line options and the system getconf function.
But since 02d900361c (test-lib: check malloc debug LD_PRELOAD before
using, 2024-11-11), we probe the system by running "git version". Since
this code runs before we've set $PATH to point to the version of Git we
intend to test, we actually run the system version of git.
This mostly works, since what we really care about is whether the
LD_PRELOAD works, and it should work the same with any program. But
there are some corner cases:
1. You might not have a system git at all, in which case the preload
will appear to fail, even though it could work with the actual
built version of git.
2. Your system git could be linked in a different way. For example, if
it was built statically, then it will ignore LD_PRELOAD entirely,
and we might assume that the preload works, even though it might
not when used with a dynamic build.
We could give a more complete path to the version of Git we intend to
test, but features like GIT_TEST_INSTALLED make that not entirely
trivial. So instead, let's just bump the setup until after we've set up
the $PATH. There's no need for us to do it early, as long as it is done
before the first test runs.

Tested by removing "git" from my $PATH and checking whether it was used.
I didn't do a full test with the static version, but I confirmed that:
gcc -static foo.c
LD_PRELOAD=bogus.so ./a.out
does not complain.
