maint: use adaptive approach for `ulimit -v` based tests
When configured with either 'symlinks' or 'shebangs' as value for the --enable-single-binary option, tests based on `ulimit -v` are skipped. The reason is that the multicall 'coreutils' binary requires much more memory due to shared libraries being loaded, and the size of the 'date' binary (~290KiB) compared to the multicall binary (~5MiB), of course. Finally, in the case of 'shebangs', the starting shell requires more memory, too Instead of using hard-coded values for the memory limit, use an adaptive approach: first determine the amount of memory for a similar, yet more trivial invocation of the command, and then do the real test run using that limit (plus some buffer in some cases). * init.cfg (require_ulimit_v_): Remove function. (get_min_ulimit_v_): Add function to determine the minimum memory limit required for a given command in an adaptive way. * cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_test_ulimit_without_require_): Change the name of the above function in the syntax-check rule. * tests/cp/link-heap.sh: Use the above function to determine the minimum memory required to run a command simpler than in the real test run. Use that limit plus a buffer there. While at it, change to list of commands in the subshell to fail also if the beginning `ulimit -v` fails. * tests/dd/no-allocate.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/csplit-heap.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/cut-huge-range.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/head-c.sh: Likewise. * tests/misc/printf-surprise.sh: Likewise. * tests/split/line-bytes.sh: Likewise. * tests/rm/many-dir-entries-vs-OOM.sh: Likewise - doing it separately for each program under test.
