t: add means to disable '-x' tracing for individual test scripts
The previous patch resolved most of the test failures caused by running our test suite with '-x' tracing and /bin/sh, and the following patches in this series will resolve almost all of the remaining failures. Unfortunately, not yet all. Add means to disable '-x' tracing for individual test scripts by setting the $test_untraceable variable to a non-empty value in the test script before sourcing 'test-lib.sh'. However, since '-x' tracing is not an issue with recent Bash versions supporting BASH_XTRACEFD, i.e. v4.1 and later, don't disable tracing when the test script is run with such a Bash version even when $test_untraceable is set.
