t5551: fix quoting in curl version bug prereq

We have a prereq snippet that invokes awk. The awk script's $1, etc,
variables need to be quoted to avoid shell interpolation. We correctly
use a single-quote inside the prereq snippet, but the snippet itself is
contained in double-quotes. So we interpolate "$1" into whatever value
that happens to have in the outer shell, and eval nonsense like:

  awk '(--some-garbage == 7 && --other-garbage >= 88) ...'

As a result, we don't think we have a buggy curl version even when we
do, and run the test anyway. But of course it's easy not to notice,
since this prereq was protecting us from a racy bug. It only breaks
sometimes.

There are a few options for fixing the quoting:

  1. Backslash-escaping the dollar signs. This is perhaps the least-ugly
     version, but it's a minor hassle to remember if somebody touches
     the code later.

  2. Single-quote the snippet, then quote interior single-quotes as
     '\''. Reasonably obvious, but ugly.

  3. Use the '<<\EOT' here-doc trick to specify the snippet. This would
     look nice, but we don't yet support it for prereqs. ;)

This patch uses (2), and we can circle back to (3) to make it look nicer
later.
