[PATCH v2 13/16] t1501: remove use of `test_might_fail cp`

The test_must_fail() family of functions (including test_might_fail()) should only be used on git commands. Replace test_might_fail() with test_non_git_might_fail().

The `test_might_fail cp` line was introduced in 466e8d5d66 (t1501: fix test with split index, 2015-03-24). It is necessary because there might exist some index files in `repo.git/sharedindex.*` and, if they exist, we want to copy them over. However, if they don't exist, we don't want to error out because we expect that possibility. As a result, we want to keep the "might fail" semantics so we use test_non_git_might_fail().
