texlive: provide repstopdf

repstopdf is supposed to be a symlink to epstopdf. Then epstopdf looks
at "$0" to detect when restricted mode needs to be enabled.  Unfortunately
our wrapper will drop all intermediate symlinks, which messes up "$0".
Restricted mode appears to be a security feature, so a test is
introduced to verify that the wrapper works as expected.
