[PATCH v6 2/9] t1308-config-set: avoid false positives when using test-config

[Matheus Tavares <matheus.bernardino@xxxxxx>]

One test in t1308 expects test-config to fail with exit code 128 due to
a parsing error in the config machinery. But test-config might also exit
with 128 for any other reason that leads it to call die(). Therefore the
test can potentially succeed for the wrong reason. To avoid false
positives, let's check test-config's stderr, in addition to the exit
code, and make sure that the cause of the error is the one we expect in
this test.

Moreover, the test was using the auxiliary function check_config, which
optionally takes a number to compare with test-config's exit code, and a
string to compare with its stdout. Because the function does not check
stderr, it can induce improper uses, like the one corrected in this
patch. To avoid this, remove the optional expect_code parameter,
disallowing tests that expect an error from test-config to use this
helper function. There is one error, though, which is printed to
stdout despite returning a non-zero code: "value not found" (exit code
1). For this one, let's add another function which properly checks
stdout and the code.
