test-extension: fix disabled extension tests for run-tests.py --local

One test that requires inserting a broken extension into hgext does this
by modifying PYTHONPATH. This doesn't work when run with --local because
the 'hg' script being used is in the same directory as the local hgext.

Instead of modifying PYTHONPATH, a secondary extension is enabled using
--config that inserts the dummy hgext at the beginning of sys.path,
before the script's path.

To run the tests, do:

cd tests/
python run-tests.py
