[PATCH 1/3] t4117: check for files using `test_path_is_file`

We `cat` files, but don't inspect or grab the contents in any way. These `cat` calls look like remnants from a debug session, so it's tempting to get rid of them. But they do actually verify that the files exist, which might not necessarily be the case for some failure modes of `git apply --reject`. Let's not lose that.

Convert the `cat` calls to use `test_path_is_file` instead. This is of course still a minor change since we no longer verify that the files can be opened for reading, but that is not something we usually worry about.
