test: mutation testing — break dotup on purpose and check the suite notices

Each file in .tests/mutations/ is one deliberate bug: what it breaks, why that
matters, the assertion meant to catch it, and an OLD/NEW pair applied to a copy
of the tree. A mutation is KILLED only when the suite fails AND the named
assertion is among the failures — failing for an unrelated reason is reported
as WRONG-TEST, because that is luck, and luck is lost the next time the
unrelated test moves. A mutation whose OLD block no longer matches is STALE
rather than quietly skipped.

19 reproduces the DU-C1 shape: a comment moved back inside the fzf
line-continuation. It is killed by "dotup pick exits 0".

# what: the apt one-at-a-time retry, removed
# why: apt refuses the whole batch when one name is unusable; the retry is the difference between 34 installed and 0
