Introduce variables GIT_TEST_INSTALLED and GIT_TEST_EXEC_PATH such that the test suite can be run against a git which is installed at GIT_TEST_INSTALLED with subcommands at GIT_TEST_EXEC_PATH. GIT_TEST_INSTALLED defaults to the git.git checkout, GIT_TEST_EXEC_PATH defaults to the output of '$GIT_TEST_INSTALLED/git --exec-path'. Run the suite e.g. as GIT_TEST_INSTALLED=/some/path make test but note that this requires and uses parts of a compiled git in the git.git checkout: test helpers, templates and perl libraries are taken from there.
