test: don't clobber `$PATH`
BATS depends on `$PATH` somehow and if not handled properly, modifying `$PATH` breaks BATS badly. But, it doesn't seem like we have any reason to modify `$PATH` in the first place...so don't.
test/svn: don't clobber `$PATH`
test/ruby: don't clobber `$PATH`
test/search: don't clobber `$PATH`
For testing non-core files, just `load ../test_helper_libs` after `load ../test_helper` instead of trying to guess which libs must be loaded, in which order, for testing to succeed.
`_command_exists` spews log messages, so our test log is littered with `_log_debug not found`. This fixes that too.
Wrap init code in a function and call the function immediately. Several plugins do this, and it allows us to more easily implement a hooks-based system in the future.
Alsö, avoid external binary `which`. Use built-in `type -P` instead. Uppercase `-P` forces a path search to avoid hashed matches and functions/aliases and whatnot.
