tests: diagnose unclosed here-doc in chainlint.pl
An unclosed here-doc in a test is a problem, because it silently gobbles up any remaining commands. Since 99a64e4b73c (tests: lint for run-away here-doc, 2017-03-22) we detect this by piggy-backing on the internal chainlint checker in test-lib.sh. However, it would be nice to detect it in chainlint.pl, for a few reasons: - the output from chainlint.pl is much nicer; it can show the exact spot of the error, rather than a vague "somewhere in this test you broke the &&-chain or had a bad here-doc" message. - the implementation in test-lib.sh runs for each test snippet. And since it requires a subshell, the extra cost is small but not zero. If chainlint.pl can reliably find the problem, we can optimize the test-lib.sh code. The chainlint.pl code never intended to find here-doc problems. But since it has to parse them anyway (to avoid reporting problems inside here-docs), most of what we need is already there. We can detect the problem when we fail to find the missing end-tag in swallow_heredocs(). The extra change in scan_heredoc_tag() stores the location of the start of the here-doc, which lets us mark it as the source of the error in the output (see the new tests for examples).
