An earlier commit fixed an issue in "check_describe" with "test_expect_success" being called within another "test_expect_success", causing the test to succeed even if it should fail.

Let's try to guard against this in the test library by returning 1 from these two functions. This change would have caught the issue I've now fixed in the "check_describe" function.

I could equivalently add this "return 1" to the "test_finish_" function itself, but I think doing it here is more readable.

Because of this change any tests which ran under "set -e" needed to be refactored not to use "set -e". Luckily there were only two such tests, earlier commits did that refactoring.
