Eric Sunshine d73f5cfa89 chainlint.sed: stop splitting "(..." into separate lines "(" and "..."
Because `sed` is line-oriented, for ease of implementation, when
chainlint.sed encounters an opening subshell in which the first command
is cuddled with the "(", it splits the line into two lines: one
containing only "(", and the other containing whatever follows "(".
This allows chainlint.sed to get by with a single set of regular
expressions for matching shell statements rather than having to
duplicate each expression (one set for matching non-cuddled statements,
and one set for matching cuddled statements).

However, although syntactically and semantically immaterial, this
transformation has no value to test authors and might even confuse them
into thinking that the linter is misbehaving by inserting (whitespace)
line-noise into the shell code it is validating. Moreover, it also
allows an implementation detail of chainlint.sed to seep into the
chainlint self-test "expect" files, which potentially makes it difficult
to reuse the self-tests should a more capable chainlint ever be
developed.

To address these concerns, stop splitting cuddled "(..." into two lines.

Note that, as an implementation artifact, due to sed's line-oriented
nature, this change inserts a blank line at output time just before the
"(..." line is emitted. It would be possible to suppress this blank line
but doing so would add a fair bit of complexity to chainlint.sed.
Therefore, rather than suppressing the extra blank line, the Makefile's
`check-chainlint` target which runs the chainlint self-tests is instead
modified to ignore blank lines when comparing chainlint output against
the self-test "expect" output. This is a reasonable compromise for two
reasons. First, the purpose of the chainlint self-tests is to verify
that the ?!AMP?! annotations are being correctly added; precise
whitespace is immaterial. Second, by necessity, chainlint.sed itself
already throws away all blank lines within subshells since, when
checking for a broken &&-chain, it needs to check the final _statement_
in a subshell, not the final _line_ (which might be blank), thus it has
never made any attempt to precisely reproduce blank lines in its output.

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Detect broken &&-chains in tests.
#
# At present, only &&-chains in subshells are examined by this linter;
# top-level &&-chains are instead checked directly by the test framework. Like
# the top-level &&-chain linter, the subshell linter (intentionally) does not
# check &&-chains within {...} blocks.
#
# Checking for &&-chain breakage is done line-by-line by pure textual
# inspection.
#
# Incomplete lines (those ending with "\") are stitched together with following
# lines to simplify processing, particularly of "one-liner" statements.
# Top-level here-docs are swallowed to avoid false positives within the
# here-doc body, although the statement to which the here-doc is attached is
# retained.
#
# Heuristics are used to detect end-of-subshell when the closing ")" is cuddled
# with the final subshell statement on the same line:
#
# (cd foo &&
# bar)
#
# in order to avoid misinterpreting the ")" in constructs such as "x=$(...)"
# and "case $x in *)" as ending the subshell.
#
# Lines missing a final "&&" are flagged with "?!AMP?!", as are lines which
# chain commands with ";" internally rather than "&&". A line may be flagged
# for both violations.
#
# Detection of a missing &&-link in a multi-line subshell is complicated by the
# fact that the last statement before the closing ")" must not end with "&&".
# Since processing is line-by-line, it is not known whether a missing "&&" is
# legitimate or not until the _next_ line is seen. To accommodate this, within
# multi-line subshells, each line is stored in sed's "hold" area until after
# the next line is seen and processed. If the next line is a stand-alone ")",
# then a missing "&&" on the previous line is legitimate; otherwise a missing
# "&&" is a break in the &&-chain.
#
# (
# cd foo &&
# bar
# )
#
# In practical terms, when "bar" is encountered, it is flagged with "?!AMP?!",
# but when the stand-alone ")" line is seen which closes the subshell, the
# "?!AMP?!" violation is removed from the "bar" line (retrieved from the "hold"
# area) since the final statement of a subshell must not end with "&&". The
# final line of a subshell may still break the &&-chain by using ";" internally
# to chain commands together rather than "&&", but an internal "?!AMP?!" is
# never removed from a line even though a line-ending "?!AMP?!" might be.
#
# Care is taken to recognize the last _statement_ of a multi-line subshell, not
# necessarily the last textual _line_ within the subshell, since &&-chaining
# applies to statements, not to lines. Consequently, blank lines, comment
# lines, and here-docs are swallowed (but not the command to which the here-doc
# is attached), leaving the last statement in the "hold" area, not the last
# line, thus simplifying &&-link checking.
#
# The final statement before "done" in for- and while-loops, and before "elif",
# "else", and "fi" in if-then-else likewise must not end with "&&", thus
# receives similar treatment.
#
# Swallowing here-docs with arbitrary tags requires a bit of finesse. When a
# line such as "cat <<EOF" is seen, the here-doc tag is copied to the front of
# the line enclosed in angle brackets as a sentinel, giving "<EOF>cat <<EOF".
# As each subsequent line is read, it is appended to the target line and a
# (whitespace-loose) back-reference match /^<(.*)>\n\1$/ is attempted to see if
# the content inside "<...>" matches the entirety of the newly-read line. For
# instance, if the next line read is "some data", when concatenated with the
# target line, it becomes "<EOF>cat <<EOF\nsome data", and a match is attempted
# to see if "EOF" matches "some data". Since it doesn't, the next line is
# attempted. When a line consisting of only "EOF" (and possible whitespace) is
# encountered, it is appended to the target line giving "<EOF>cat <<EOF\nEOF",
# in which case the "EOF" inside "<...>" does match the text following the
# newline, thus the closing here-doc tag has been found. The closing tag line
# and the "<...>" prefix on the target line are then discarded, leaving just
# the target line "cat <<EOF".
