    Convert manual shell tests to shelltestrunner · 53d4cdf1

    This is more of a RFC… Basically most of the shell-based tests are
    converted from exec+grep to shelltestrunner.
    
    Things are not all fine and nice though:
    
    - we have dependencies between tests, as some generate some data files
      needed later; this is not nice, and we depend on serial execution in
      testrunner
    - we can still fail with no so nice messages in the offline-test
      script (when we generate most of the data)
    
    But overall, I think the tests are much nicer to
    define/read/debug:
    
    - each test is standalone, with the only dependency being an optional
      input data file; this is much better than a single monolithic shell
      script
    - in case of failures, the failure is clearly shown by shell test,
      both for exit code and stdout/stderr
    - shelltest can run in --debug mode, where the exact details are shown
      much better than the alternative of "set -x" for the shell script
    
    Comments welcome!
