Now that chainlint.pl is functional, take advantage of the existing chainlint self-tests to validate its operation. (While at it, stop validating chainlint.sed against the self-tests since it will soon be retired.) Due to chainlint.sed implementation limitations leaking into the self-test "expect" files, a few of them require minor adjustment to make them compatible with chainlint.pl which does not share those limitations. First, because `sed` does not provide any sort of real recursion, chainlint.sed only emulates recursion into subshells, and each level of recursion leads to a multiplicative increase in complexity of the `sed` rules. To avoid substantial complexity, chainlint.sed, therefore, only emulates subshell recursion one level deep. Any subshell deeper than that is passed through as-is, which means that &&-chains are not checked in deeper subshells. chainlint.pl, on the other hand, employs a proper recursive descent parser, thus checks subshells to any depth and correctly flags broken &&-chains in deep subshells. Second, due to sed's line-oriented nature, chainlint.sed, by necessity, folds multi-line quoted strings into a single line. chainlint.pl, on the other hand, employs a proper lexical analyzer which preserves quoted strings as-is, including embedded newlines. Furthermore, the output of chainlint.sed and chainlint.pl do not match precisely in terms of whitespace. However, since the purpose of the self-checks is to verify that the ?!AMP?! annotations are being correctly added, minor whitespace differences are immaterial. For this reason, rather than adjusting whitespace in all existing self-test "expect" files to match the new linter's output, the `check-chainlint` target ignores whitespace differences. Since `diff -w` is not POSIX, `check-chainlint` attempts to employ `git diff -w`, and only falls back to non-POSIX `diff -w` (and `-u`) if `git diff` is not available.
