[FYI] {master} tests: remove redundant settings of `errexit' shell flag

[OT] automake-patches archives corrupted?

[FYI] {yacc-work} tests: minor improvements to a couple of yacc tests

The attached patch is a cleanup that ideally should have been squashed into the commit v1.11-362-g7c0d9cb "tests: split yacc6.test, for better separation and coverage"; but I had already pushed it when I came up with thee changes. Sorry for the noise, Stefano -*-*- tests: minor improvements to
