[PATCH 01/13] test: define a helper function for defining prereqs on executables

[Thomas Jost <schnouki@schnouki.net>]

While test_expect_success could be used to define these prereqs, this is
probably not a good idea: if a prereq is not available, using
test_expect_success would result in a test being reported as FAILED at the end
of the test suite (and its dependencies as skipped).

On the contrary, when using test_set_bin_prereq, no test will be reported as
FAILED.
