Now that we support logic expressions, variables and parenthesis, let's
add a few more tests to check_conditions.vtc. The tests are conditionned
by the version being at least 2.5-dev2 so that it will not cause failures
during a possible later bisect session or if backported.
The test verifies that exported variables are seen, that operators precedence
works as expected, that parenthesis work at least through two levels, that an
empty condition is false while a negative number is true, and that extraneous
chars in an expression, or unfinished strings are properly caught.
The test consists in a sequence of shell commands, but the shell is not
necessarily started with strict errors enabled, so only the last command
provides the verdict. Let's add "set -e" to make it fail on the first
test that fails.
This patch adds the `-cc` (check condition) argument to evaluate conditions on
startup and return the result as the exit code.
As an example this can be used to easily check HAProxy's version in scripts:
haproxy -cc 'version_atleast(2.4)'
This resolves GitHub issue #1246.
