[PATCH 00/22] avoid redundant pipelines

["Beat Bolli" <bb@drbeat.li>]

As follow-up to [1], here's a series that eliminates redundant
pipelines, mostly under t/.

Spawning a process is notoriously slow on Windows, so this will improve
test performance.

1/22 to 14/22 remove redundant uses of "cat" where the shell handles
input redirection from a file or the command can take a file argument.

15/22 to 20/22 merge redundant uses of "grep" into the following "sed"
or "awk" command. Both of these are capable of filtering themselves. I'm
a bit on the fence about this part because readability suffers in some
cases. It was a fun exercise, though :-)

21/22 merges multiple "sed" calls into one and replaces a whole "cat |
grep | awk" construct with a single "awk" call and uses "sort -u"
instead of "sort | uniq".

22/22 finally is a bit of an outlier in that it replaces a subshell with
a shell compound command.

In the tests, I have completely arbitrarily separated the commits into
thousands blocks to keep the commits and their reviews manageable.

All tests that I was able to run still pass. I don't have p4 or cvs
installed.
