[PATCH 07/25] t: use test_must_fail instead of hand-rolled blocks

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

In-Reply-To
<20150320100429.GA17354@peff.net>

These test scripts likely predate test_must_fail, and can be made simpler by using it (in addition to making them pass --chain-lint).

The case in t6036 loses some verbosity in the failure case, but it is so tied to a specific failure mode that it is not worth keeping around (and the outcome of the test is not affected at all).
