tests: don't disqualify FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh just yet,
because dash-0.5.6-2.fc14.x86_64 would also be disqualified. This reverts part of yesterday's commit 6c058b2d, "tests: avoid failure due to bug in FreeBSD 8.1's /bin/sh". Note that the offending aspect of those shells is not officially a bug, since "local" is not specified by POSIX. However, it is very unintuitive that prepending "local" to an existing, standards-compliant assignment would evoke such a fundamental change in semantics. * tests/init.sh: Remove snippet requiring sane "local" support. Upstream dash bug report: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.shells.dash/419
