t1301-shared-repo: fix forced modes test

This test was added recently (5a688fe, "core.sharedrepository = 0mode"
should set, not loosen; 2009-03-28). It checked the result of a sed
invocation for emptyness, but in some cases it forgot to print anything
at all, so that those checks would never be false.

Due to this mistake, it went unnoticed that the files in objects/info are
not necessarily 0440, but can also be 0660.  Because the 0mode setting
tries to guarantee that the files are accessible only to the people they
are meant to be used by, we should only make sure that they are readable
by the user and the group when the configuration is set to 0660.  It is a
separate matter from the core.shredrepository settings that w-bit from
immutable object files under objects/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f] directories should
be dropped.

COMMIT_EDITMSG is still world-readable, but it (and any transient files
that are meant for repositories with a work tree) does not matter.  If you
are working on a shared machine and on a sekrit stuff, the root of the
work tree would be with mode 0700 (or 0750 to allow peeking by other
people in the group), and that would mean that .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG in such
a repository would not be readable by the strangers anyway.

Also, in the real-world use case, .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG will be given to an
arbitrary editor the user happens to use, and we have no guarantee what it
does (e.g. it may create a new file with umask and replace, it may rewrite
in place, it may leave an editor backup file but use umask to create it,
etc.), and the protection of the file lies majorly on the protection of
the root of the work tree.

This test cannot be run on Windows; it requires POSIXPERM when merged to
'master'.
