[PATCH 05/18] chainlint.pl: add parser to identify test definitions

<0de14477a42f2c18efb4b1e0ba52155645a7f0e2.1661992197.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1322.git.git.1661992197.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

Finish fleshing out chainlint.pl by adding ScriptParser, a parser which scans shell scripts for tests defined by test_expect_success() and test_expect_failure(), plucks the test body from each definition, and passes it to TestParser for validation. It recognizes test definitions not only at the top-level of test scripts but also tests synthesized within compound commands such as loops and function.
