test-lib: fix non-portable pattern bracket expressions
Use a '!' character to start a non-matching pattern bracket expression, as specified by POSIX in Shell Command Language section 2.13.1 Patterns Matching a Single Character [1]. I used '^' instead in three places in the previous three commits, to verify that the arguments of the '--stress=' and '--stress-limit=' options and the values of various '*_PORT' environment variables are valid numbers. With certain shells, at least with dash (upstream and in Ubuntu 14.04) and mksh, this led to various undesired behaviors: # error message in case of a valid number $ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=8 error: --stress=<N> requires the number of jobs to run # not the expected error message $ ~/src/dash/src/dash ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo ./t3903-stash.sh: 238: test: Illegal number: foo # no error message at all?! $ mksh ./t3903-stash.sh --stress=foo $ echo $? 0 Some other shells, e.g. Bash (even in posix mode), ksh, dash in Ubuntu 16.04 or later, are apparently happy to accept '^' just as well.
