t4201: make use of abbreviation in the test more robust

The test for '--abbrev' in t4201-shortlog.sh assumes that the commits generated in the test can always be uniquely abbreviated to 5 hex digits but this is not always the case. If you were unlucky and happened to run the test at (say) Thu Jun 22 03:04:49 2017 +0000, you would find that the first commit generated would collide with a tree object created later in the same test. This can be simulated in the version of t4201-shortlog.sh prior to this commit by setting GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE to 1498100689 after sourcing test-lib.sh. Change the test to test --abbrev=35 instead of --abbrev=5 to almost completely avoid the possibility of a partial collision and add a call to test_tick in the setup to make the test repeatable (the latter alone is sufficient to make it robust enough).
