test-lib-functions: simplify packetize() stdin code

The code path in packetize() for reading stdin needs to handle NUL
bytes, so we can't rely on shell variables. However, the current code
takes a whopping 4 processes and uses a temporary file. We can do this
much more simply and efficiently by using a single perl invocation (and
we already rely on perl in the matching depacketize() function).

We'll keep the non-stdin code path as it is, since that uses zero extra
processes.
