[bug#55954] [PATCH] gnu: public-inbox: Fixes to allow the testsuite to run

[Thiago Jung Bauermann]

This patch makes the public-inbox testsuite pass. Some tests are skipped,
so the test coverage could likely be increased with more massaging.

Perhaps the most significant change is using tini to run the testsuite so
that the testsuite's sub-processes are reaped. The ‘check’ phase is based on
the one from the mutter package. Thanks to Maxim Cournoyer for pointing out
this solution.

* gnu/packages/patches/public-inbox-fix-spawn-test.patch: New file.
* gnu/local.mk (dist_patch_DATA): Add new patch.
* gnu/packages/mail.scm (public-inbox)[source]: Add new patch.
[arguments]<#:tests?>: Remove argument.
<#:imported-modules>: Add argument.
<#:modules>: Likewise.
<#:phases>{qualify-paths}: Substitute path for ‘/bin/cp’.
{pre-check}: Don't skip httpd-unix.t test.  Remove unnecessary path
substitutions for “env” and “/bin/sh”.
{check}: Replace with custom version that launches the tests under tini.
[native-inputs]: Add tini.

+Subject: [PATCH] t/spawn: Find invalid PID to try to join its process group
+
+In the container used to build packages of the GNU Guix distribution, PID 1
+runs as the same user as the test so this spawn that should fail actually
+succeeds.
+
+Fix the problem by going through different PIDs and picking one that
+either doesn't exist or we aren't allowed to signal.
+---
+
+This patch is taken from the public-inbox repository and will appear in the
+release after v1.8.
