Description:
unit.pl is no longer able to properly run our unittests on newer version of perl.

How to repeat:
Run the unittests oin a machine with "perl 5.10.0 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int"

SPAWN sh -c "cd ../unittest && perl unit.pl run mytap mysys ../storage"
Running tests: mytap mysys ../storage
../storage/ndb/src/common/portlib/RelWithDebInfo/NdbDir-t.........Useless use of string in void context at -e line 1.
 No subtests run 
../storage/ndb/src/common/util/RelWithDebInfo/BaseString-t........Useless use of string in void context at -e line 1.
 No subtests run 
../storage/ndb/src/common/util/RelWithDebInfo/Bitmask-t...........Useless use of string in void context at -e line 1.
 No subtests run 

Test Summary Report
-------------------
../storage/ndb/src/common/portlib/RelWithDebInfo/NdbDir-t.exe (Wstat: 0 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
../storage/ndb/src/common/util/RelWithDebInfo/BaseString-t.exe (Wstat: 0 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
../storage/ndb/src/common/util/RelWithDebInfo/Bitmask-t.exe   (Wstat: 0 Tests: 0 Failed: 0)
  Parse errors: No plan found in TAP output
Files=3, Tests=0,  0 wallclock secs ( 0.02 usr  0.02 sys +  0.01 cusr  0.07 csys =  0.12 CPU)
Result: FAIL
Failed 3/3 test programs. 0/0 subtests failed.

Suggested fix:
Test::Harness have been extensively rewritten in newer perl
versions and is now just a backward compatibility wrapper
(with a bug causing the HARNESS_PERL_SWITCHES to be mangled)
Prefer to use TAP::Harness directly if available
