Avoid error with Tru64 awk and testsuite lines with many words.

* lib/autotest/general.m4 (AT_INIT): In the awk script that
reads the testsuite, set the field separator to an unusual value,
in order to not run over the limit of 199 fields.  Tru64 4.0D awk
even splits the input if $i, i>0, was never accessed in the script.

        different and are not fixed, see
