[PATCH v4 0/3] t2400: Fix test failures when using grep 2.5

This patchset 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].

Changes from v3:
  * Replace `[ ]` with ` ` in regex for `test_wt_add_orphan_hint()` [4][5].
  * Drop trailing `.*` from `invalid_ref_regex` [4][5].
  * Change `[a-z-]` to `[-a-z]` in `bad_combo_regex` to better portray
    intent [4][5].
  * Replace `\+` with `*` in `bad_combo_regex` as `\+` is not POSIX
    BRE and is a GNU extension [4][5].
  * Drop "without PCRE support" from commit message [4].
  * Reword commit message to reflect changes.

         Replace all cases of `\s` with ` ` as it is not part of POSIX BRE or ERE
    -    and therefore not all versions of grep handle it without PCRE support.

    +    Also, do not write `\+` in BRE and expect it to mean 1 or more;
