    t: fix &&-chaining issues around setup which might fail · a6a4a88a

    Many tests have an initial setup step that might fail based
    on whether earlier tests in the script have succeeded or
    not. Using a trick like "|| true" breaks the &&-chain,
    missing earlier failures (and fooling --chain-lint).
    
    We can use test_might_fail in some cases, which is correct
    and makes the intent more obvious. We can also use
    test_unconfig for unsetting config (and which is more
    robust, as well).
    
    The case in t9500 is an oddball. It wants to run cmd1 _or_
    cmd2, and does it like:
    
      cmd1 || cmd2 &&
      other_stuff
    
    It's not wrong in this case, but it's a bad habit to get
    into, because it breaks the &&-chain if used anywhere except
    at the beginning of the test (and we use the correct
    solution here, putting it inside a block for precedence).
