t: add an interoperability test harness

The current test suite is good at letting you test a
particular version of Git. But it's not very good at letting
you test _two_ versions and seeing how they interact (e.g.,
one cloning from the other).

This commit adds a test harness that will build two
arbitrary versions of git and make it easy to call them from
inside your tests. See the README and the example script for
details.
