test_common: disable fsync in git(1) commands
As with git itself, fsync(2) results in needless overhead and
storage wear in test cases where data integrity is not an issue.
I normally point TMPDIR to tmpfs when running tests, but this
still affects initial setup of data for stuff in t/data-gen as
well as improving life for users with too little RAM for a tmpfs
TMPDIR.

tests: fix missing modules under TEST_RUN_MODE=0
By default, we rely heavily on preload to speed up tests and
missing modules were always present by the time we hit some
tests. However, the more realistic (and significantly slower)
TEST_RUN_MODE=0 doesn't preload so we must explicitly load
missing modules.

lei_mirror: favor File::Spec::Functions
Functions calls are preferable over `->' method dispatch in
tight loops. This can be the case when scanning alternates in
v1_done(). Since we're at it, replace all other `File::Spec->'
method dispatches with function calls since function calls can
be used to validate function prototypes at compile time.

cindex: rework path canonicalization check
While reading the code, I noticed inadvertant `$_' use when the
loop iterator is `$d'. Using `$_' here would result in
uninitialized variable access. I've yet to hit this case in
real-world access.
Furthermore, we can use a single pass to canonicalize existing
directories instead of relying on a grep block, first.
Finally, favor File::Spec::Functions since `->' method dispatch
is slower than normal subroutine calls by a small amount even
when both the package and method names are static and known
early in advance..

import: avoid uninitialized comparison on failures
readline may return undef when fast-import fails (as triggered
by t/lei-store-fail.t). Ensure we give a more informative error
message in the syslog when this happens. Arguably, having this
in the syslog when a client is connected via terminal is probably
not great, but perhaps unavoidable...

t/spawn: increase timeout for slow systems
Smetimes the SIGXCPU handler doesn't fire in time on an
overloaded VPS, so hopefully increasing the timeout is now
enough. The $rset allocation and bitset is now moved before
the spawn to avoid measuring any possible overhead from the
scalar creation.
