[PATCH v4 0/6] add and use if_test to simplify tests

From

Changes since v3:
- Replace for_test with if_test, a more robust conditional-like macro.
  It stores description and location like v1, but without using strbuf.
- Drop patch 7 for t-strbuf to avoid hindering Kyle's cleanup idea.

Side note: Created with --creation-factor=60, as the default of 999 in v2.46.0 pairs dropped patch 7 with new patch 4 and reports old patch 4 as dropped, which is confusing.

         The macro TEST takes a single expression.  If a test requires multiple
         statements then they need to be placed in a function that's called in
         the TEST expression.

         Run the tests in the order of definition.  We can reorder them like that
         because they are independent.  Technically this changes the output, but
