stdbuf: support libstdbuf in same directory as stdbuf

[Ecordonnier]

Make stdbuf search for libstdbuf first in the directory where stdbuf is running. This matches GNU coreutils behavior. Add a symlink to deps/libstdbuf in order to make it easier to run the stdbuf tests with feat_external_stdbuf enabled.

Remove tests which are assuming that libstdbuf is not found. Those tests are now always failing, because the build directory contains a symlink to deps/libstdbuf and libstdbuf is always found.

Fixes #10345

Unfortunately, Cygwin (windows) does not allow symlink by default. Would you disable tests on Cygwin?

Which test is failing on Cygwin? test_stdbuf_search_order_exe_dir_first ?

Cygwin package does not run test currently, but CI would not allow all of tests creating symlink.

The test I am adding does not create a symlink, so it is not clear to me what you are asking me to do.

Does it means tester should manually create a symlink?

The build system creates a symlink, and would print a warning on cygwin if the command to create the symlink fails.

Thats fine for me!
