t0021: implementation the rot13-filter.pl script in C

This script is currently used by three test files: t0021-conversion.sh,
t2080-parallel-checkout-basics.sh, and
t2082-parallel-checkout-attributes.sh. To avoid the need for the PERL
dependency at these tests, let's convert the script to a C test-tool
command. The following commit will take care of actually modifying the
said tests to use the new C helper and removing the Perl script.

The Perl script flushes the log file handler after each write. As
commented in [1], this seems to be an early design decision that was
later reconsidered, but possibly ended up being left in the code by
accident:

	>> +$debug->flush();
	>
	> Isn't $debug flushed automatically?

	Maybe, but autoflush is not explicitly enabled. I will
	enable it again (I disabled it because of Eric's comment
	but I re-read the comment and he is only talking about
	pipes).

Anyways, this behavior is not really needed for the tests and the
flush() calls make the code slightly larger, so let's avoid them
altogether in the new C version.
