Support Bash "strict mode" (and fix one unit test)

[djpohly]

📚 Description

Some script authors like to use "unofficial Bash strict mode", enough so that supporting it shows up in comparisons of shell testing frameworks.

Case in point: enabling the -u option uncovered a bug in test_unsuccessful_assert_is_directory_not_writable that is fixed in this PR.

🔖 Changes

• bashunit and its tests now have set -euo pipefail enabled.
• The test mentioned above has been fixed ($a_file was supposed to be $a_directory).
• Arithmetic expansions ((...)), which exit 1 if their result happens to be zero, are fixed with || true.
• The call to check_duplicate_functions does not appear to be intended to cause the script to fail, so it is also silenced with || true.
• Optional parameters are given default-empty behavior using e.g. ${1-}.
• Optional variables are assigned defaults by evaluating "${varname=default}".
• Existence of optional functions is tested explicitly before attempting to execute them. This has the side benefit of ensuring that an external program with the right name (e.g. set_up) will not be run instead.

✅ To-do list

• I updated the CHANGELOG.md to reflect the new feature or fix
• I updated the documentation to reflect the changes (Not sure there's anything to document, since this fix doesn't require users to do anything different.)

Wow, this is pretty cool. Thanks!

It seems that it is not working as expected for macos... I will check it out when I find some time these days

I will merge this branch into an internal one with the same name strictmode, so I can check it out and play around to reproduce the bug easier, while keeping the original commits from @djpohly 👍🏼
