They were actually failing because of a platform bug (HUP not
propperly being processed on FreeBSD). This has been fixed in
e698e32d999e39 and so we now re-enable these tests.
Also now permit interactivly running tests without explicitly setting
$srcdir. This now works if we are inside ./tests and fails, as before,
when we are in a different directory.

Merging in multiple steps to avoid getting new tests with non-correct

- some more dynamic file names
- convert more commands to pure bash functions
- cleanup no longer neede files
changes some of the test commands to use bash functions
includes some small bug fixes to tests where bugs were
previously not seen due to different plumbing.
