tests: fix a bug in the cp/preserve-gid test
* tests/cp/preserve-gid: Ensure that every process under test uses the cp binary we've just built. Before this fix, with a restrictive umask or build-dir permissions, the UID-changing tests would end up using whatever cp happened to be available through $PATH Analysis by arbogast.cedric@gmail.com in http://debbugs.gnu.org/8292.
