	test-framework-sh: Fix test failure with AIX 7.1 diff.
	* tests/init.sh (compare_): Don't use 'diff -u' if it inserts a space
	in column 1, like 'diff -c' does.
	* tests/test-init.sh (test_compare): Don't repeat the test from init.sh
	whether 'diff -u' is used. Instead, test whether the output contains
	some '@' character.
