[PATCH] test: use --quick when starting emacs.

[PATCH] test: use --quick when starting emacs.

[David Bremner]

At least in emacs24, this removes the "site-lisp" directories from the
load path in addition to enforcing --no-site-lisp --no-init-file.

This works around a slightly mysterious bug on Debian that causes
test-lib.el not to load when there is cl-lib.el(c) in some site-lisp
directory.  It should be harmless in general since we really don't
want to load any files from addon packages to emacs.

that should say, --no-site-file. fixed in git.

LGTM. works with emacs 23.1.1 and emacs 24.3.1

Funnily, if make test is run w/o setting EMACS run_emacs.sh will have:

./test/tmp.T350-crypto/run_emacs:15:exec emacs --quick --quick --directory ...
