 - test-lib: reorder and include GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS a lot earlier

Reorders t/test-lib.sh so that we dot-source GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS that
records the shell and Perl the user told us to use with Git a lot
early, so that test-lib.sh script itself can use "$PERL_PATH" in
one of its early operations.

Needs to be eyeballed by people who run tests with exotic options
like valgrind, --root=/dev/shm/somewhere, etc.

I'm such a people. Both --valgrind and --root work OK with the patch.
Reading the patch, I don't see any other problematic options, either.

Thanks; I've been running tests for 'pu' with --root pointing
elsewhere as well.  I probably should push this forward before the
tree gets busy again post relesae.
