tests: use just-built grep in more places
* cfg.mk (PATH): Prepend $(srcdir)/src, so that we use the just- built grep also when running commands like those of "make distcheck". This would have avoided the recently-luckily-noticed infloop bug. Tested by running this in a just-built directory: f=src/grep; printf '%s\n' '#!/bin/sh' 'sleep 9h' > $f; chmod a+x $f and then verifying that nearly every "make syntax-check" rule hangs.
