[PATCH] t9400: don't use test_must_fail with cvs

We are using `test_must_fail cvs` to test that the cvs command fails as expected. However, test_must_fail() is used to ensure that commands fail in an expected way, not due to something like a segv. Since we are not in the business of verifying the sanity of the external world, replace `test_must_fail cvs` with `! cvs` and assume that the cvs command does not die unexpectedly.

Hi Junio,

Thanks for pointing this out. It seems like the CI systems we use don't cover cvs. Is this something that we want to address or is it fine to leave it as a blindspot since no one really uses cvs anymore?
