test-lib tests: avoid subshell for "test_cmp" for readability
The use of a sub-shell for running the test_cmp of stdout/stderr for the test author was introduced in this form in 565b6fa87bb (tests: refactor mechanics of testing in a sub test-lib, 2012-12-16), but from looking at the history that seemed to have diligently copied my original ad-hoc implementation in 7b905119703 (t/t0000-basic.sh: Run the passing TODO test inside its own test-lib, 2010-08-19). There's no reason to use a subshell here, we try to avoid it in general. It also improves readability, if the test fails we print out the relative path in the trash directory that needs to be looked at. Before that was mostly obscured, since the "write_sub_test_lib_test" will pick the directory for you from the test name.
