[PATCH v2 try2] test: fix for TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

[PATCH v2 try2] test: fix for TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

[Felipe Contreras]

The test_atexit unit test relies on the specific location of the
generated files.

When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is unset, _run_sub_test_lib_test_common sets
it to pwd, which is two levels under the pwd of the parent unit test,
and the parent can find the generated files just fine.

But when TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is set, it's stored in GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS,
and even though _run_sub_test_lib_test_common correctly overrides it,
when the child script is run it sources GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS and
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is overridden.

Effectively both the parent and child scripts output to the same
directory.

  make TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY=/tmp/foobar GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS &&
  make -C t t0000-basic.sh

We could try to specify --root, as 6883047071 (t0000: set
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY for sub-tests, 2013-12-28) suggested, but then the
results of subtests would leak out because TEST_RESULTS_DIR would not
be changed from the parent.

Instead, let's revert part of 2d14e13c56 (test output: respect
$TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, 2013-04-29) by removing TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
from GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS.

It's unclear how much value t/valgrind/analyze.sh provides today, but
users of that script that use TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY as well can simply
call the script with that variable in the environment.

It doesn't make much sense to break t0000-basic.sh for users of
TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY, just to provide a little convenience for the
users of t/valgrind/analyze.sh.

Presumably this was broken since 900721e15c (test-lib: introduce
'test_atexit', 2019-03-13).
