test-xalloc-die.sh: fix a portability bug * tests/test-xalloc-die.sh: Do not invoke via ./test-xalloc-die. Instead, set PATH to start with "." and invoke via "test-xalloc-die". Otherwise, argv[0] (as often seen in diagnostics) would be too system-dependent, sometimes with, and sometimes without the leading "./".
