The chainlint tests are a series of individual files, each holding a
test body. The "make check-chainlint" target assembles them into a
single file, adding a "test_expect_success" function call around each.
Let's instead include that function call in the files themselves. This
is a little more boilerplate, but has several advantages:
1. You can now run chainlint manually on snippets with just "perl
chainlint.perl chainlint/foo.test". This can make developing and
debugging a little easier.
2. Many of the tests implicitly relied on the syntax of the lines
added by the Makefile (in particular the use of single-quotes).
This assumption is much easier to see when the single-quotes are
alongside the test body.
3. We had no way to test how the chainlint program handled
various test_expect_success lines themselves. Now we'll be able to
check variations.
The change to the .test files was done mechanically, using the same
test names they would have been assigned by the Makefile (this is
important to match the expected output). The Makefile has the minimal
change to drop the extra lines; there are more cleanups possible but a
future patch in this series will rewrite this substantially anyway.

Shell `for` and `while` loops do not terminate automatically just
because a command fails within the loop body. Instead, the loop
continues to iterate and eventually returns the exit status of the final
command of the final iteration, which may not be the command which
failed, thus it is possible for failures to go undetected. Consequently,
it is important for test authors to explicitly handle failure within the
loop body by terminating the loop manually upon failure. This can be
done by returning a non-zero exit code from within the loop body
(i.e. `|| return 1`) or exiting (i.e. `|| exit 1`) if the loop is within
a subshell, or by manually checking `$?` and taking some appropriate
action. Therefore, add logic to detect and complain about loops which
lack explicit `return` or `exit`, or `$?` check.
