Summary: "set -o posix" in test/config/bashrc breaks bash-valid code.

Initial Comment:
#314716, I've submitted a function with a <() construction. While this is valid
bash syntax, it cannot be parsed by bash if posix mode is enabled.
I would say "set -o posix" plays against the "Use the full power of bash >=
4.1" statement from the README file, CONTRIBUTING section.
Since a lot of bash completion code is not POSIX compliant ([[, arrays,
extglob, etc....), I would suggest *disabling* posix mode in the test suite
bashrc configuration file.

Message:
Disabling posix in test/config/bashrc actually breaks the test suite, but I
think I've found the issue.
When posix is enabled, the "set" command (without any parameter) only shows
variables, but when posix is disabled the same "set" command will also print
functions definitions (with full functions body).
So depending of the posix option setting, the _save_env function in
test/lib/library.exp will not dump the same things. So the function should be
instead :
proc _save_env {{file ""}} {
assert_bash_exec "{ (set -o posix ; set); declare -F; shopt -p; } >
\"$file\""
}
I think it's okay to do this, because it's not about posix itself, it's more
about the content we want to compare.
( And maybe the _save_env should also dump "set -o" output, so that we know
bash_completion does not change bash behaviour )
