In a future patch, we plan on running tests with `set -o pipefail`. However, since grep can return failure in the case that no lines are matched, this can trigger a failure in a pipe in the case where grep is being used as a filter. Define the test_grep_return_success() function which acts as a wrapper around grep but always returns 0 so that it can be used in the situation described above.
