e433749d86 test-terminal: set TERM=vt100
The point of the test-terminal script is to simulate in the
test scripts an environment where output is going to a real
terminal.

But since test-lib.sh also sets TERM=dumb, the simulation
isn't very realistic. The color code will skip auto-coloring
for TERM=dumb, leading to us liberally sprinkling

  test_terminal env TERM=vt100 git ...

through the test suite to convince the tests to actually
generate colors. Let's set TERM for programs run under
test_terminal, which is one less thing for test-writers to
remember.

In most cases the callers can be simplified, but note there
is one interesting case in t4202. It uses test_terminal to
check the auto-enabling of --decorate, but the expected
output _doesn't_ contain colors (because TERM=dumb
suppresses them). Using TERM=vt100 is closer to what the
real world looks like; adjust the expected output to match.

18d8c26930 test_terminal: redirect child process' stdin to a pty
When resuming, git-am detects if we are trying to feed it patches or not
by checking if stdin is a TTY.

However, the test library redirects stdin to /dev/null. This makes it
difficult, for instance, to test the behavior of "git am -3" when
resuming, as git-am will think we are trying to feed it patches and
error out.

Support this use case by extending test-terminal.perl to create a
pseudo-tty for the child process' standard input as well.

Note that due to the way the code is structured, the child's stdin
pseudo-tty will be closed when we finish reading from our stdin. This
means that in the common case, where our stdin is attached to /dev/null,
the child's stdin pseudo-tty will be closed immediately. Some operations
like isatty(), which git-am uses, require the file descriptor to be
open, and hence if the success of the command depends on such functions,
test_terminal's stdin should be redirected to a source with large amount
of data to ensure that the child's stdin is not closed, e.g.

	test_terminal git am --3way </dev/zero

709ca730f8 run-command: encode signal death as a positive integer
When a sub-command dies due to a signal, we encode the
signal number into the numeric exit status as "signal -
128". This is easy to identify (versus a regular positive
error code), and when cast to an unsigned integer (e.g., by
feeding it to exit), matches what a POSIX shell would return
when reporting a signal death in $? or through its own exit
code.

So we have a negative value inside the code, but once it
passes across an exit() barrier, it looks positive (and any
code we receive from a sub-shell will have the positive
form). E.g., death by SIGPIPE (signal 13) will look like
-115 to us in inside git, but will end up as 141 when we
call exit() with it. And a program killed by SIGPIPE but run
via the shell will come to us with an exit code of 141.

Unfortunately, this means that when the "use_shell" option
is set, we need to be on the lookout for _both_ forms. We
might or might not have actually invoked the shell (because
we optimize out some useless shell calls). If we didn't invoke
the shell, we will will see the sub-process's signal death
directly, and run-command converts it into a negative value.
But if we did invoke the shell, we will see the shell's
128+signal exit status. To be thorough, we would need to
check both, or cast the value to an unsigned char (after
checking that it is not -1, which is a magic error value).

Fortunately, most callsites do not care at all whether the
exit was from a code or from a signal; they merely check for
a non-zero status, and sometimes propagate the error via
exit(). But for the callers that do care, we can make life
slightly easier by just using the consistent positive form.

This actually fixes two minor bugs:

  1. In launch_editor, we check whether the editor died from
     SIGINT or SIGQUIT. But we checked only the negative
     form, meaning that we would fail to notice a signal
     death exit code which was propagated through the shell.

  2. In handle_alias, we assume that a negative return value
     from run_command means that errno tells us something
     interesting (like a fork failure, or ENOENT).
     Otherwise, we simply propagate the exit code. Negative
     signal death codes confuse us, and we print a useless
     "unable to run alias 'foo': Success" message. By
     encoding signal deaths using the positive form, the
     existing code just propagates it as it would a normal
     non-zero exit code.

The downside is that callers of run_command can no longer
differentiate between a signal received directly by the
sub-process, and one propagated. However, no caller
currently cares, and since we already optimize out some
calls to the shell under the hood, that distinction is not
something that should be relied upon by callers.

Fix the same logic in t/test-terminal.perl for consistency [jc:
raised by Jonathan in the discussion].

a463aefa35 test-terminal: set output terminals to raw mode
Not setting them to raw mode causes funny things to happen, such as
\n -> \r\n translation:

  ./test-terminal.perl echo foo | xxd
  0000000: 666f 6f0d 0a                             foo..

(Notice the added 0d.)

To avoid this, set the (pseudo)terminal to raw mode.  Note that the
IO::Pty docs recommend doing it on both master and slave.

e23f436c35 tests: test terminal output to both stdout and stderr
Some outputs (like the pager) care whether stdout is a
terminal. Others (like progress meters) care about stderr.

This patch sets up both. Technically speaking, we could go
further and set up just one (because either the other goes
to a terminal, or because our tests are only interested in
one). This patch does both to keep the interface to
lib-terminal simple.

cc4e48fc1e tests: factor out terminal handling from t7006
Other tests besides the pager ones may want to check how we handle
output to a terminal. This patch makes the code reusable.
