[Octave-patch-tracker] [patch #9633] Add test for correct exit status behaviour

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #4, patch #9633 (project octave):

It's certainly possible to rewrite some commands in terms of the system
function. However, it's a more awkward way to write these tests compared with
shell scripts. It doesn't seem easily extensible to add more tests in the
future.

The test would ideally work with both "run-octave" in the build directory and
with a fully-installed Octave, just like the rest of the test suite, right?

For those interested, I am still maintaining and continuously running a more
complete set of tests of Octave's command line interface than just a few exit
status validations at https://gitlab.com/mtmiller/octave-test-suite.
