[PATCH] t2400: Fix test failures when using grep 2.5

From
Jacob Abel <jacobabel@nullpo.dev>
Date

Message-ID
<20230715025512.7574-1-jacobabel@nullpo.dev>

Replace all cases of `\s` with `[[:space:]]` as older versions of GNU grep (and from what it seems most versions of BSD grep) do not handle `\s`.

For the same reason all cases of `\S` are replaced with `[^[:space:]]`. Replacing `\S` also needs to occur as `\S` is technically PCRE and not part of ERE even though most modern versions of grep accept it as ERE.

This patch is in response to build failures on GGG's Cirrus CI 
freebsd_12 build jobs[1] and was prompted by a discussion thread [2].

These failures seem to be caused by the behavior outlined in [3]. Weirdly however they only seem to occur on the FreeBSD CI but not the Mac OS CI for some reason despite Mac OS using FreeBSD grep.
