[PATCH] [Outreachy PATCH] t2403: modernize test for directory existence

<pull.2259.git.1792125111461.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Shashank <shashu8660@gmail.com>

Replace the old-style shell `test -d` commands with Git's modern `test_path_is_dir` helper function.

This provides better debugging output if the tests were to fail, as the helper prints a clear error message rather than just failing silently like `test -d` does.
