t1450: avoid use of "sed" on the index, which is a binary file

jeffhostetler · gitster · commit 4d9bc37fbe99 · 2017-04-27T09:41:19.000+09:00
The previous step added a path zzzzzzzz to the index, and then used
"sed" to replace this string to yyyyyyyy to create a test case where
the checksum at the end of the file does not match the contents.

Unfortunately, use of "sed" on a non-text file is not portable.
Instead, use a Perl script that seeks to the end and modifies the
last byte of the file (where we _know_ stores the trailing
checksum).
