git-remote-testgit: fix race when spawning fast-import
Test "pushing to local repo" in t5800-remote-helpers can hang
due to a race condition in git-remote-testgit. Fix it by
setting stdin to unbuffered.
On the writer side, "git push" invokes push_refs_with_export(),
which sends to stdout the command "export\n" and immediately
starts up "git fast-export". The latter writes its output stream
to the same stdout.
On the reader side, remote helper "git-remote-testgit" reads from
stdin to get its next command. It uses getc() to read characters
from libc up until \n. Libc has buffered a potentially much
larger chunk of stdin. When it sees the "export\n" command, it
forks "git fast-import" to read the stream.
If fast-export finishes before git fast-import starts, the
fast-export output can end up in libc's buffer in
git-remote-testgit, rather than in git fast-import. The latter
hangs indefinitely on a now-empty stdin.
