test-lib: Infrastructure to test and check for prerequisites
Some tests can be run only if a particular prerequisite is available. For
example, some tests require that an UTF-8 locale is available. Here we
introduce functions that are used in this way:
1. Insert code that checks whether the prerequisite is available. If it is,
call test_set_prereq with an arbitrary tag name that subsequently can be
used to check for the prerequisite:
case $LANG in
*.utf-8)
test_set_prereq UTF8
;;
esac
2. In the calls to test_expect_success pass the tag name:
test_expect_success UTF8 '...description...' '...tests...'
3. There is an auxiliary predicate that can be used anywhere to test for
a prerequisite explicitly:
if test_have_prereq UTF8
then
...code to be skipped if prerequisite is not available...
