When we push using the DAV-based protocol, the client is the one that
performs the ref updates and therefore makes the checks to see whether
an unforced push should be allowed. We make this check by determining
if either (a) we lack the object file for the old value of the ref or
(b) the new value of the ref is not newer than the old value, and in
either case, reject the push.
However, the ref_newer function, which performs this latter check, has
an odd behavior due to the reuse of certain object flags. Specifically,
it will incorrectly return false in its first invocation and then
correctly return true on a subsequent invocation. This occurs because
the object flags used by http-push.c are the same as those used by
commit-reach.c, which implements ref_newer, and one piece of code
misinterprets the flags set by the other.
Note that this does not occur in all cases. For example, if the example
used in the tests is changed to use one repository instead of two and
rewind the head to add a commit, the test passes and we correctly reject
the push. However, the example provided does trigger this behavior, and
the code has been broken in this way since at least Git 2.0.0.
To solve this problem, let's move the two sets of object flags so that
they don't overlap, since we're clearly using them at the same time.
The new set should not conflict with other usage because other users are
either builtin code (which is not compiled into git http-push) or
upload-pack (which we similarly do not use here).

Use regex values based on $OID_REGEX instead of hard-coding them based
on expected object ID lengths.

Use 'test_atexit' to run cleanup commands to stop httpd at the end of
the test script or upon interrupt or failure, as it is shorter,
simpler, and more robust than registering such cleanup commands in the
trap on EXIT in the test scripts.

These are tests which are missing a link in their &&-chain,
in a location which causes a significant portion of the test
to be missed (e.g., the test effectively does nothing, or
consists of a long string of actions and output comparisons,
and we throw away the exit code of at least one part of the
string).
