[PATCH v2 0/3] chainlint: emit line numbers alongside test definitions

This is a re-roll of "es/chainlint-lineno"[1] which makes chainlint.pl output line numbers alongside annotated test definitions in which problems have been discovered.

Changes since v1:

Limit sidestepping of impoverished Apple "terminfo" entries to specific terminal types known to be problematic and in common use on macOS, rather than sledge-hammer matching all "xterm" since some old "xterm" variants may legitimately not support ANSI capabilities (suggested by brian[2]).

Fix incorrect line number computation when swallowing here-doc bodies. v1 incorrectly incremented the line number by two regardless of the here-doc body's actual size. I very much would like to add tests to catch this sort of problem, however, the current chainlint self-test framework validates chainlint behavior in relation only to test bodies, whereas this problem manifested when a here-doc was present at the script level outside of any test. It may be possible to expand the self-test framework in the future to allow such testing, but that may be some time off, and needn't hold up this series.

          chainlint: sidestep impoverished macOS "terminfo"
      
          Although the macOS Terminal.app is "xterm"-compatible, its corresponding
     -    "terminfo" entry neglects to mention capabilities which Terminal.app
     +    "terminfo" entries -- such as "xterm", "xterm-256color", and
     +    "xterm-new"[1] -- neglect to mention capabilities which Terminal.app
          actually supports (such as "dim text"). This oversight on Apple's part
          ends up penalizing users of "good citizen" console programs which
          consult "terminfo" to tailor their output based upon reported terminal
          capabilities (as opposed to programs which assume that the terminal
     -    supports ANSI codes).

     +    "terminfo" entries, such as "nsterm"[2], with which macOS Terminal.app
     +    may be configured.
      
          Sidestep this Apple problem by imbuing get_colors() with specific
     -    knowledge of "xterm" capabilities rather than trusting "terminfo" to
     -    report them correctly. Although hard-coding such knowledge is ugly,
     -    "xterm" support is nearly ubiquitous these days, and Git itself sets
     -    precedence by assuming support for ANSI color codes. For non-"xterm",
     -    fall back to querying "terminfo" via `tput` as usual.
