[PATCH 2/8] t7408: replace incorrect uses of test_must_fail

From

Message-ID
<17db727121925cf0774e95a80ea13bbea8264931.1587372771.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

According to t/README, test_must_fail() should only be used to test for failure in Git commands.

Replace the invocation of `test_must_fail test_path_is_file` with `test_path_is_missing` since, in this test case, the path should not exist at all.

In all the cases where `test_must_fail test_alternate_is_used` appears, test_alternate_is_used() fails because test_line_count() cannot open the non-existent $alternates_file. Replace `test_must_fail test_alternate_is_used` with `test_path_is_missing` to test for this directly.
