t/t6300: introduce test_bad_atom

Introduce a new function "test_bad_atom", which is similar to "test_atom()" but should be used to check whether the correct error message is shown on stderr. Like "test_atom", the new function takes three arguments. The three arguments specify the ref, the format and the expected error message respectively, with an optional fourth argument for tweaking "test_expect_*" (which is by default "success").
