Subject: BATS help-message test: improve diagnostics

The error messages from the 'podman xxx --help' cross-check
test are unhelpful, and cause much wasted time when they trigger.

Solution: instead of using the built-in exit-status check
in run_podman, do an explicit check outside of run_podman.
This lets us die() with a custom, hopefully useful, message.
