[PATCH 1/2] t0014: factor out choice of deprecated commands

We have a few tests related to aliasing deprecated commands which use
"whatchanged" and "pack-redundant", as these are the only two deprecated
commands we have. Let's pull those names into variables so that we can
refactor the tests without relying on the specific names.

I pulled this into its own patch because it's so noisy, but it could be
squashed with the subsequent one.
