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.

3fc4c612fb Fix nix build --dry-run with CA derivations
Don’t try and assume that we know the output paths when we’ve just built
with `--dry-run`. Instead make `--dry-run` follow a different code path
that won’t assume the knowledge of the output paths at all.
