test-lib: some shells do not let $? propagate into an eval

In 3bf7886 (test-lib: Let tests specify commands to be run at end of
test, 2010-05-02), the git test harness learned to run cleanup
commands unconditionally at the end of a test.  During each test,
the intended cleanup actions are collected in the test_cleanup variable
and evaluated.  That variable looks something like this:

	eval_ret=$?; clean_something && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?; clean_something_else && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?; final_cleanup && (exit "$eval_ret")
	eval_ret=$?

All cleanup actions are run unconditionally but if one of them fails
it is properly reported through $eval_ret.

On FreeBSD, unfortunately, $? is set at the beginning of an ‘eval’
to 0 instead of the exit status of the previous command.  This results
in tests using test_expect_code appearing to fail and all others
appearing to pass, unless their cleanup fails.  Avoid the problem by
setting eval_ret before the ‘eval’ begins.

Thanks to Jeff King for the explanation.
