test/: Add default values for configuration variables
Add a small helper script called "test-init.sh" that is sourced in each test case and initializes the CALCURSE and DATA_DIR environment variables. Update the test suite README to point out that setting these environment variables is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer <calcurse@cryptocrack.de>

You can also run tests manually. Test cases are usually shell scripts or
binaries. To run an individual test, just invoke the corresponding executable.
-Note that some tests require the `CALCURSE` and `DATA_DIR` environment
-variables to be set, where `CALCURSE` should point to a valid calcurse binary
-and `DATA_DIR` should point to a valid data directory. We usually use the data
-directory `data/`, which is contained in the `test/` directory, for test cases:
-
- $ CALCURSE=../src/calcurse DATA_DIR=data/ ./next-001.sh
- Running ./next-001.sh... ok
+The `CALCURSE` and `DATA_DIR` environment variables can be used to specify an
+alternative calcurse binary and data directory.
Passing another data directory might cause some failures since many tests are
adapted for the `test/` directory provided by the test suite:
