    t1304: improve setfacl prerequisite setup · a14ad109

    t1304 first runs setfacl as an experiment to see whether the
    filesystem supports ACLs, and skips the remaining tests if
    it does not. However, our setfacl run did not exercise the
    ACLs very well, and some filesystems may support our initial
    setfacl, but not the rest of the test.
    
    In particular, some versions of ecryptfs will erroneously
    apply the umask on top of an inherited directory ACL,
    causing our tests to fail. Let's be more careful and make
    sure both that we can read back the user ACL we set, and
    that the inherited ACL is propagated correctly. The latter
    catches the ecryptfs bug, but may also catch other bugs
    (e.g., an implementation which does not handle inherited
    ACLs at all).
    
    Since we're making the setup more complex, let's move it
    into its own test. This will hide the output for us unless
    the user wants to run "-v" to see it (and we don't need to
    bother printing anything about setfacl failing; the
    remaining tests will properly print "skip" due to the
    missing prerequisite).
