tests: fix and add lint for non-portable head -c N

The "head -c BYTES" option is non-portable (not in POSIX[1]). Change such invocations to use the test_copy_bytes wrapper added in 48860819e8 ("t9300: factor out portable "head -c" replacement", 2016-06-30). This fixes a test added in 9d2e330b17 ("ewah_read_mmap: bounds-check mmap reads", 2018-06-14), which has been breaking t5310-pack-bitmaps.sh on OpenBSD since 2.18.0. The OpenBSD ports already have a similar workaround after their upgrade to 2.18.0[2]. I have not tested this on IRIX, but according to 4de0bbd898 ("t9300: use perl "head -c" clone in place of "dd bs=1 count=16000" kluge", 2010-12-13) this invocation would have broken things there too. Also, change a valgrind-specific codepath in test-lib.sh to use this wrapper. Given where valgrind runs I don't think this would ever become a portability issue in practice, but it's easier to just use the wrapper than introduce some exception for the "make test-lint" check being added here. 1. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/head.html 2. https://github.com/openbsd/ports/commit/08d5d82eaefe5cf2f125ecc0c6a57df9cf91350c#diff-f7d3c4fabeed1691620d608f1534f5e5 Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
