5459bc1bbb t/chainlint/*.test: fix invalid test cases due to mixing quote types
The chainlint self-test code snippets are supposed to represent the body
of a test_expect_success() or test_expect_failure(), yet the contents of
a few tests would have caused the shell to report syntax errors had they
been real test bodies due to the mix of single- and double-quotes.
Although chainlint.sed, with its simplistic heuristics, is blind to this
problem, a future more robust chainlint implementation might not have
such a limitation. Therefore, stop mixing quote types haphazardly in
those tests and unify quoting throughout. While at it, drop chunks of
tests which merely repeat what is already tested elsewhere but with
alternative quotes.

4f69176feb chainlint: add test of pathological case which triggered false positive
This extract from contrib/subtree/t7900 triggered a false positive due
to three chainlint limitations:

* recognizing only a "blessed" set of here-doc tag names in a subshell
  ("EOF", "EOT", "INPUT_END"), of which "TXT" is not a member

* inability to recognize multi-line $(...) when the first statement of
  the body is cuddled with the opening "$("

* inability to recognize multiple constructs on a single line, such as
  opening a multi-line $(...) and starting a here-doc

Now that all of these shortcomings have been addressed, turn this rather
pathological bit of shell coding into a chainlint test case.
