init.sh: run tr in the "C" locale to avoid multibyte interpretation
* tests/init.sh (rand_bytes_): Run tr in the "C" locale so it does
not try to interpret its random input bytes. Jarno Rajahalme reported
that ./test-xalloc-die.sh would fail with "tr: Illegal byte sequence"
on Darwin 10.3.0 with LC_CTYPE=UTF-8.
(mktempd_): Likewise, just in case.

maint.mk: add a PATH crosschecking syntax-check rule

Useful if you use a test like the one in help-version (coreutils,
diffutils, grep, gzip) that ensures $(VERSION) matches what is
printed by prog --version.

init.sh: simply unset TMPDIR rather than risking env -i
* tests/init.sh (mktempd_): Using env -i is rather harsh, and
although it probably works fine on all Unix-based systems, some
systems (Cygwin?) cannot tolerate a totally cleared environment.
Suggestion from Eric Blake.

maint.mk: check for [ as well as test
A word on the regex: \<\[ never matches, so the match instead
looks for a leading space in that case. Although configure.ac
should generally use test instead of [ (because the latter has
to be spelled [[ because of m4 processing), libvirt had a case
of the latter that would have been detected with this rule.
* top/maint.mk (sc_prohibit_test_minus_ao): Extend test.
Based on a libvirt report by Matthias Bolte.
