[PATCH 14/20] Add test_repo_expect_success for running tests in a new repository

["Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy" <pclouds@gmail.com>]

This could be convenient when tests are independent from the rest in the
same file. Normally we would do this

test_expect_success '...' '
	git init foo &&
	(
		cd foo &&
		<script>
	)
'

Now we can write a shorter version

test_repo_expect_success '...' '
	<script>
'

The other function, test_subdir_expect_success, expands the script to
"( cd <repo> && <script> )", which can be useful for grouping a series of
tests that operate on the same repository in a subdir, e.g.

test_expect_success 'create repo abc' 'test_create_repo abc'
test_subdir_expect_success abc '...' <script>
test_subdir_expect_success abc '...' <another-script>
