t/README: clarify the test_have_prereq documentation
Clarify the test_have_prereq documentation so that it's clear in the
reader's mind when the text says "most common use of this directly"
what the answer to "as opposed to what?" is.
Usually this function isn't used in lieu of using the prerequisite
support built into test_expect_*, mention that explicitly.
This changes documentation that I added in commit
9a897893a7 ("t/README: Document the prereq functions, and 3-arg
test_*", 2010-07-02).
