test-lib: allow negation of prerequisites

You can set and test a prerequisite like this:

test_set_prereq FOO
test_have_prereq FOO && echo yes

You can negate the test in the shell like this:

! test_have_prereq && echo no

However, when you are using the automatic prerequisite
checking in test_expect_*, there is no opportunity to use
the shell negation.  This patch introduces the syntax "!FOO"
to indicate that the test should only run if a prerequisite
is not meant.

One alternative is to set an explicit negative prerequisite,
like:

if system_has_foo; then
test_set_prereq FOO
else
test_set_prereq NO_FOO
fi

However, this doesn't work for lazy prerequisites, which
associate a single test with a single name. We could teach
the lazy prereq evaluator to set both forms, but the code
change ends up quite similar to this one (because we still
need to convert NO_FOO into FOO to find the correct lazy
script).
