When git invokes a pager that exits with non-zero the common case is
that we'll already return the correct SIGPIPE failure from git itself,
but the exit code logged in trace2 has always been incorrectly
reported[1]. Fix that and log the correct exit code in the logs.

Since this gives us something to test outside of our recently-added
tests needing a !MINGW prerequisite, let's refactor the test to run on
MINGW and actually check for SIGPIPE outside of MINGW.

The wait_or_whine() is only called with a true "in_signal" from from
finish_command_in_signal(), which in turn is only used in pager.c.

I'm not quite sure about that BUG() case. Can we have a true in_signal
and not have a true WIFEXITED(status)? I haven't been able to think of
a test case for it.

1. The incorrect logging of the exit code in was seemingly copy/pasted
   into finish_command_in_signal() in ee4512ed481 (trace2: create new
   combined trace facility, 2019-02-22)

Doesn't BUG die, never to return control back to us?  How about
"warning()" or "error()"?

Maybe I shouldn't do that, but I'm doing it reflexively because SunCC
will yell at me otherwise. See 56f56ac50b9 (style: do not "break" in
switch() after "return", 2020-12-16).

Maybe I should just deal with its complaints, or add an "/* unreachable
*/" comment there...
