    [pic]: Improve test script.
    
    * src/preproc/pic/tests/do-not-crash-when-reading-macro-arguments.sh:
      Revise test to stop using the presence of a "core" file as a failure
      oracle.  Instead, pattern-match pic(1)'s output for the `PE` *roff
      macro call that gets issed only after the formerly buggy macro
      processing completes successfully.
    
    Begins fixing <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68204>.
    
    Also modernize shell style to align with more recent groff tests.

    [tbl]: Improve test script. (1/2)
    
    * src/preproc/tbl/tests/do-not-segv-on-invalid-vertical-span-entry.sh:
      Revise test to stop using the presence of a "core" file as a failure
      oracle.  Instead, pattern-match tbl(1)'s output for the `TE` macro
      call that gets issed only after the formerly buggy table processing
      completes successfully.
    
    Continues fixing <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68204>.
    
    Also modernize shell style to align with more recent groff tests.
