Motivation for this change

Many tests use machine.succeed("curl ...") to poke the software under test. This does not do what it reads like. Without the --fail flag, curl exits successfully even if the request returned a failure status (404, 500, etc.).

Tests should pretty much always use curl --fail.

This PR adds --fail to all the tests that still pass after doing so. (Tests that are broken at HEAD and tests for which adding --fail introduces breakage are omitted.)

This makes the tests work as the test authors probably intended.

This provides many more examples of correct usage in the NixOS tests, so folks adding tests in the future have good examples to borrow from.
