[PATCH v3 17/20] t0021: refactor `generate_random_characters()` to not depend on Perl
From: Patrick Steinhardt <hidden>

The `generate_random_characters()` helper function generates N
random characters in the range 'a-z' and writes them into a file. The
logic currently uses Perl, but it can be adapted rather easily by:
- Making `test-tool genrandom` generate an infinite stream.
- Using `tr -dc` to strip all characters which aren't in the range of
'a-z'.
- Using `test_copy_bytes()` to copy the first N bytes.
This allows us to drop the PERL_TEST_HELPERS prerequisite.
