test: Stop using grep -q in integration test

When a TTY is attached to the test unit, grep -q will generate SIGPIPE
for the previous command in the pipeline which in combo with `pipefail`
will cause the command to fail with exit status 141 which will fail the
test.

Replace with >/dev/null to avoid this from happening.

> There is a related problem with Bash’s set -e -o pipefail. Since grep
> does not always read all its input, a command outputting to a pipe read
> by grep can fail when grep exits before reading all its input, and the
> command’s failure can cause Bash to exit.

- When modifying existing tests, please convert the test to use the new assertion
macros from `tests.h` if it is not already using those.
## Integration Tests
- Never use `grep -q` in a pipeline, use `grep >/dev/null` instead. The former
will generate `SIGPIPE` for the previous command in the pipeline when it finds
a match which will cause the test to fail unexpectedly.
