c11836126b Harden tests' bash
Use `set -u` and `set -o pipefail` to catch accidental mistakes and
failures more strongly.

 - `set -u` catches the use of undefined variables
 - `set -o pipefail` catches failures (like `set -e`) earlier in the
   pipeline.

This makes the tests a bit more robust. It is nice to read code not
worrying about these spurious success paths (via uncaught) errors
undermining the tests. Indeed, I caught some bugs doing this.

There are a few tests where we run a command that should fail, and then
search its output to make sure the failure message is one that we
expect. Before, since the `grep` was the last command in the pipeline
the exit code of those failing programs was silently ignored. Now with
`set -o pipefail` it won't be, and we have to do something so the
expected failure doesn't accidentally fail the test.

To do that we use `expect` and a new `expectStderr` to check for the
exact failing exit code. See the comments on each for why.

`grep -q` is replaced with `grepQuiet`, see the comments on that
function for why.

`grep -v` when we just want the exit code is replaced with `grepInverse,
see the comments on that function for why.

`grep -q -v` together is, surprise surprise, replaced with
`grepQuietInverse`, which is both combined.

6d9ccde20d Make JSON equality tests agnostic to ordering
It is in fact more sorted than before, but I don't think we want to
guarantee anything about the ordering.

78ac3eb4eb Fix #1762
nix-store --export, nix-store --dump, and nix dump-path would previously
fail silently if writing the data out failed, because
 a) FdSink::write ignored exceptions, and
 b) the commands relied on FdSink's destructor, which ignores
    exceptions, to flush the data out.

This could cause rather opaque issues with installing nixos, because
nix-store --export would happily proceed even if it couldn't write its
data out (e.g. if nix-store --import on the other side of the pipe
failed).

This commit adds tests that expose these issues in the nix-store
commands, and fixes them for all three.
