bug#24530: tests: revamp multibyte-white-space test to be more permissive

2016-09-24 Thread Jim Meyering
grep's multibyte-white-space would too often fail. Its failure was mainly a reflection on the system's poor locale support, so this test did not give good signal on whether one would be well-advised to install the resulting grep binary. I've done this: tests: revamp multibyte-white-space
