t0000: reword comments for "local" test
Commit 01d3a526ad (t0000: check whether the shell supports the "local"
keyword, 2017-10-26) added a test to gather data on whether people run
the test suite with shells that don't support "local".
After almost two years, nobody has complained, and several other uses
have cropped up in test-lib-functions.sh. Let's declare it acceptable to
use.
