tests: more checks on portable fd redirection in TESTS_ENVIRONMENT

* tests/tests-environment-fd-redirect.test: Extend by also using
a perl script among the tests.  Run the test shell script with
the `errexit' flag active.  Export `VERBOSE' to yes when running
"make check", to give more debugging information in case of
failures.  Look for a Korn Shell also in `/usr/bin', not on only
in `/bin'.
