The purpose of chainlint is to highlight problems it finds in test code
by inserting annotations at the location of each problem. Arbitrarily
eliding bits of the code it is checking is not helpful, yet this is
exactly what chainlint.sed does by cavalierly and unnecessarily dropping
the here-doc operator and tag; i.e. `cat <<TAG` becomes simply `cat` in
the output. This behavior can make it more difficult for the test writer
to align the annotated output of chainlint.sed with the original test
code. Address this by retaining here-doc tags.

chainlint.sed inserts a ">" annotation at the beginning of a line to
signal that its heuristics have identified an end-of-subshell. This was
useful as a debugging aid during development of the script, but it has
no value to test writers and might even confuse them into thinking that
the linter is misbehaving by inserting line-noise into the shell code it
is validating. Moreover, its presence also potentially makes it
difficult to reuse the chainlint self-test "expect" output should a more
capable linter ever be developed. Therefore, drop the ">" annotation.

When chainlint.sed detects a broken &&-chain, it places an ?!AMP?!
annotation at the beginning of the line. However, this is an unusual
location for programmers accustomed to error messages (from compilers,
for instance) indicating the exact point of the problem. Therefore,
relocate the ?!AMP?! annotation to the end of the line in order to
better direct the programmer's attention to the source of the problem.

After swallowing a here-doc, chainlint.sed assumes that no other
processing needs to be done on the line aside from checking for &&-chain
breakage; likewise, after folding a multi-line quoted string. However,
it's conceivable (even if unlikely in practice) that both a here-doc and
a multi-line quoted string might commence on the same line:
cat <<\EOF && echo "foo
bar"
data
EOF
Support this case by sending the line (after swallowing and folding)
through the normal processing sequence rather than jumping directly to
the check for broken &&-chain.
This change also allows other somewhat pathological cases to be handled,
such as closing a subshell on the same line starting a here-doc:
(
cat <<-\INPUT)
data
INPUT
or, for instance, opening a multi-line $(...) expression on the same
line starting a here-doc:
x=$(cat <<-\END &&
data
END
echo "x")
among others.
