tests: cli: properly check for exit status codes in error cases

POSIX explicitly requires "set -e" to NOT treat "! cmd" as an error even
if fails[1]:

> The -e setting shall be ignored when executing the compound list
> following the while, until, if, or elif reserved word, *a pipeline
> beginning with the ! reserved word*, or any command of an AND-OR list
> other than the last. *[emphasis added]*

And bash has similar documentation on this behaviour[2].

This means that our tests were completely ineffective at detecting error
codes from gomtree, and as a result we did not detect the regression in
commit 83c9fdb78b ("refactor: prefactor for adding new subcommands").

The simplest solution (as done in this patch) is to just wrap all of the
failing examples in a subshell, which causes the shell to no longer
consider them exempt from "set -e". A more complete solution would be to
either switch to something like bats entirely or at least use something
like their "run" helper function to test for exit status codes
correctly.
