t3501: remove test -f and stop ignoring git <cmd> exit code

In the test 'cherry-pick after renaming branch', stop checking for
the presence of a file (opos) because we are going to "grep" in it in
the same test and the lack of it will be noticed as a failure anyway.

In the test 'revert after renaming branch', instead of allowing any
random contents as long as a known phrase is not there in it, we can
expect the exact outcome---after the successful revert of "added", the
contents of file "spoo" should become identical to what was in file
"oops" in the "initial" commit. This test also contains 'test -f' that
verifies presence of a file, but we have a helper function to do the same
thing. Replace it with appropriate helper function 'test_path_is_file'
for better readability and better error messages.

In both tests, we will not notice when "git rev-parse" starts segfaulting
without emitting any output. The 'test' command will end up being just
"test =", which yields success. Use the 'test_cmp_rev' helper to make
sure we will notice such a breakage.
