Addresses feedback on v2. Since Junio & Johannes expressed a desire to
keep the existing test scheme in t4018/* it's still there, but it's
also possible to add *.sh tests in that directory to use the more
familiar test framework used elsewhere in the test suite.

The tests added here make use of it to e.g. supply custom -U<n>
arguments, set config before the tests etc.

I also improved that existing test support so you can have N tests in
one file with (mostly) the existing test syntax. See the "userdiff
tests: add a test with multiple tests in a LANG file" patch.
I've read through all patches and had a comment here and there. I like a
lot that we can now put more than one test into a single file.

However, I do not like the shell script version of tests, because the
syntax is so hard to read. Also, it looks to me that they are only
needed for a few tests that could just as well be coded as one-off tests
outside the framework.

I've now pulled avar/t4018-diff-hunk-header-regex-tests-3 from your
github repo and will check again if I missed some cruicial points.
