Seems to trigger a bug in at least OpenBSD's 6.7 sh where it is
interpreted as a history lookup and therefore fails 125-126, 128,

Remove the subshell and get a space between ! and grep, so tests
pass successfully.
It's strange that somebody thinks of doing history lookup in
non-interactive use.

But even more curious is why we have this in a subshell in the first
place.  I do not see a reason why we need subshell, nor use of the
double-quote in the outer layer that forces us to use backslashes.
 test_bloom_filters_not_used () {
 	log_args=$1
 	setup "$log_args" &&
-	!(grep -q "statistics:{\"filter_not_present\":" "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/trace.perf") &&
+	! grep -q "statistics:{\"filter_not_present\":" "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/trace.perf" &&
This is obviously the minimum fix, so I'm willing to take the change
as-is, but if we were writing it today, perhaps

	! grep 'statistics:{"filter_not_present":' "$TRASH_DIRECTORY/trace.perf" &&

is how we write it.  I do not see any reason why we want to use the
"-q" option either.
