[PATCH 18/18] t: retire unused chainlint.sed

["Eric Sunshine via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

Retire chainlint.sed since it has been replaced by a more accurate and
functional &&-chain "linter", thus is no longer used.

-#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-# Detect broken &&-chains in tests.
-#
-# At present, only &&-chains in subshells are examined by this linter;
-# top-level &&-chains are instead checked directly by the test framework. Like
-# the top-level &&-chain linter, the subshell linter (intentionally) does not
-# check &&-chains within {...} blocks.
-#
-# Checking for &&-chain breakage is done line-by-line by pure textual
-# inspection.
-#
-# Incomplete lines (those ending with "\") are stitched together with following
-# lines to simplify processing, particularly of "one-liner" statements.
-# Top-level here-docs are swallowed to avoid false positives within the
-# here-doc body, although the statement to which the here-doc is attached is
-# retained.
-#
-# Heuristics are used to detect end-of-subshell when the closing ")" is cuddled
-# with the final subshell statement on the same line:
-#
-#    (cd foo &&
-#        bar)
-#
-# in order to avoid misinterpreting the ")" in constructs such as "x=$(...)"
-# and "case $x in *)" as ending the subshell.
-#
-# Lines missing a final "&&" are flagged with "?!AMP?!", as are lines which
-# chain commands with ";" internally rather than "&&". A line may be flagged
-# for both violations.
-#
-# Detection of a missing &&-link in a multi-line subshell is complicated by the
-# fact that the last statement before the closing ")" must not end with "&&".
-# Since processing is line-by-line, it is not known whether a missing "&&" is
-# legitimate or not until the _next_ line is seen. To accommodate this, within
-# multi-line subshells, each line is stored in sed's "hold" area until after
-# the next line is seen and processed. If the next line is a stand-alone ")",
-# then a missing "&&" on the previous line is legitimate; otherwise a missing
-# "&&" is a break in the &&-chain.
-#
-#    (
-#         cd foo &&
-#         bar
-#    )
-#
-# In practical terms, when "bar" is encountered, it is flagged with "?!AMP?!",
-# but when the stand-alone ")" line is seen which closes the subshell, the
-# "?!AMP?!" violation is removed from the "bar" line (retrieved from the "hold"
-# area) since the final statement of a subshell must not end with "&&". The
-# final line of a subshell may still break the &&-chain by using ";" internally
-# to chain commands together rather than "&&", but an internal "?!AMP?!" is
-# never removed from a line even though a line-ending "?!AMP?!" might be.
-#
-# Care is taken to recognize the last _statement_ of a multi-line subshell, not
-# necessarily the last textual _line_ within the subshell, since &&-chaining
-# applies to statements, not to lines. Consequently, blank lines, comment
-# lines, and here-docs are swallowed (but not the command to which the here-doc
-# is attached), leaving the last statement in the "hold" area, not the last
-# line, thus simplifying &&-link checking.
-#
-# The final statement before "done" in for- and while-loops, and before "elif",
-# "else", and "fi" in if-then-else likewise must not end with "&&", thus
-# receives similar treatment.
-#
-# Swallowing here-docs with arbitrary tags requires a bit of finesse. When a
-# line such as "cat <<EOF" is seen, the here-doc tag is copied to the front of
-# the line enclosed in angle brackets as a sentinel, giving "<EOF>cat <<EOF".
-# As each subsequent line is read, it is appended to the target line and a
-# (whitespace-loose) back-reference match /^<(.*)>\n\1$/ is attempted to see if
-# the content inside "<...>" matches the entirety of the newly-read line. For
-# instance, if the next line read is "some data", when concatenated with the
-# target line, it becomes "<EOF>cat <<EOF\nsome data", and a match is attempted
-# to see if "EOF" matches "some data". Since it doesn't, the next line is
-# attempted. When a line consisting of only "EOF" (and possible whitespace) is
-# encountered, it is appended to the target line giving "<EOF>cat <<EOF\nEOF",
-# in which case the "EOF" inside "<...>" does match the text following the
-# newline, thus the closing here-doc tag has been found. The closing tag line
-# and the "<...>" prefix on the target line are then discarded, leaving just
-# the target line "cat <<EOF".
