Tests: optionally skip redirecting stdin/stdout/stderr
There is a really useful debugging technique developed by Sverre Rabbelier that inserts "bash &&" somewhere in the test scripts, letting the developer interact at given points with the current state. Another debugging technique, used a lot by this here coder, is to run certain executables via gdb by guarding a "gdb -args" call in bin-wrappers/git. Both techniques were disabled by 781f76b(test-lib: redirect stdin of tests). Let's reinstate the ability to run an interactive shell by making the redirection optional: setting the TEST_NO_REDIRECT environment variable will skip the redirection.
