    init.sh: avoid Solaris 10 /bin/sh portability problem
    
    Solaris 10's /bin/sh does not pass '.' arguments 2..N to the
    sourced script:
      $ printf 'echo "$@"\n' > f; /bin/sh -c '. ./f bar'
      $ printf 'echo "$@"\n' > f;    bash -c '. ./f bar'
      bar
    tests/init.sh relied on that, accepting a --set-path=DIR argument,
    and two tests used that idiom.
    * tests/init.sh: Update suggested usage comments.
    (path_prepend_): New function, to be used in place of
    the --src-path=DIR option.
    Disallow empty strings and strings containing ":".
    (setup_): Move PATH-prepending code into path_prepend_.
    * tests/test-pread.sh: Adapt to new usage.
    * tests/test-xalloc-die.sh: Likewise.
