test/[: binary operators: fix '<' and add '=~'; some more cleanups

In ksh88, the test/[ built-in supported both the '<' and '>'
lexical sorting comparison operators, same as in [[. However, in
every version of ksh93, '<' does not work though '>' still does!

Still, the code for both is present in test_binop():

src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c
548:		case TEST_SGT:
549:			return(strcoll(left, right)>0);
550:		case TEST_SLT:
551:			return(strcoll(left, right)<0);

Analysis: The binary operators are looked up in shtab_testops[] in
data/testops.c using a macro called sh_lookup, which expands to a
sh_locate() call. If we examine that function in sh/string.c, it's
easy to see that on systems using ASCII (i.e. all except IBM
mainframes), it assumes the table is sorted in ASCII order.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/string.c
64:	while((c= *tp->sh_name) && (CC_NATIVE!=CC_ASCII || c <= first))

The problem was that the '<' operator was not correctly sorted in
shtab_testops[]; it was sorted immediately before '>', but after
'='. The ASCII order is: < (60), = (61), > (62). This caused '<' to
never be found in the table.

The test_binop() function is also used by [[, yet '<' always worked
in that. This is because the parser has code that directly checks
for '<' and '>' within [[ (in sh/parse.c, lines 1949-1952).

This commit also adds '=~' to 'test', which took three lines of
code and allowed eliminating error handling in test_binop() as
test/[ and [[ now support the same binary ops. (re: fc2d5a60)

src/cmd/ksh93/*/*.[ch]:
- Rename a couple of very misleadingly named macros in test.h:
  . For == and !=, the TEST_PATTERN bit is off for pattern compares
    and on for literal string compares! Rename to TEST_STRCMP.
  . The TEST_BINOP bit does not denote all binary operators, but
    only the logical -a/-o ops in test/[. Rename to TEST_ANDOR.

src/cmd/ksh93/bltins/test.c: test_binop():
- Add support for =~. This is only used by test/[. The method is
  implemented in two lines that convert the ERE to a shell pattern
  by prefixing it with ~(E), then call test_strmatch with that
  temporary string to match the ERE and update ${.sh.match}.
- Since all binary ops from shtab_testops[] are now accounted for,
  remove unknown op error handling from this function.

src/cmd/ksh93/data/testops.c:
- shtab_testops[]:
  . Correctly sort the '<' (TEST_SLT) entry.
  . Remove ']]' (TEST_END). It's not an op and doesn't belong here.
- Update sh_opttest[] documentation with =~, \<, \>.
- Remove now-unused e_unsupported_op[] error message.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/lex.c: sh_lex():
- Check for ']]' directly instead of relying on the removed
  TEST_END entry from shtab_testops[].

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/bracket.sh:
- Add relevant tests.

src/cmd/ksh93/tests/builtins.sh:
- Fix an old test that globally deleted the 'test' builtin. Delete
  it within the command substitution subshell only.
- Remove the test for non-support of =~ in test/[.
- Update the test for invalid test/[ op to use test directly.

- The test/[ built-in command now supports the '<' and '=~' operators from [[.
As of now, test/[ supports the same operators as [[ except for the different
and/or operators. Note: test/[ remains deprecated due to its many pitfalls.
- The test/[ built-in command is fixed so that the binary -a (and) and -o (or)
operators, as in [ "$a" -a "$b" ] or [ "$a" -o "$b" ], work even if "$a" is
'!' or '('. To avoid breaking backwards compatibility with the nonstandard
