Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 4a1baacd46 env-helper: move this built-in to "test-tool env-helper" ...

Since [1] there has been no reason for keeping "git env--helper" a
built-in. The reason it was a built-in to begin with was to support
the GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON mode removed in that commit. I.e. unlike
the rest of "test-tool" it would potentially be called by the
installed git via "git-sh-i18n.sh".

As none of that applies since [1] we should stop carrying this
technical debt, and move it to t/helper/*. As this mostly move-only
change shows this has the nice bonus that we'll stop wasting time
translating the internal-only strings it emits.

Even though this was a built-in, it was intentionally never
documented, see its introduction in [2]. It never saw use outside of
the test suite, except for the "GIT_TEST_GETTEXT_POISON" use-case
noted above.
