Lint test/ (not just git/), fix warnings and a bug

This expands flake8 linting to include the test suite, and fixes
the resulting warnings. Four code changes are especially notable:

- Unit tests from which documentation is automatically generated
  contain a few occurrences of "# @NoEffect". These suppressions
  are extended to "# noqa: B015  # @NoEffect" so the corresponding
  suppression is also applied for flake8. This is significant
  because it actually changes what appears in the code examples in
  the generated documentation. However, since the "@NoEffect"
  annotation was considered acceptable, this may be okay too. The
  resulting examples did not become excessively long.

- Expressions like "[c for c in commits_for_file_generator]" appear
  in some unit tests from which documentation is automatically
  generated. The simpler form "list(commits_for_file_generator)"
  can replace them. This changes the examples in the documentation,
  but for the better, since that form is simpler (and also a better
  practice in general, thus a better thing to show readers). So I
  made those substitutions.

- In test_repo.TestRepo.test_git_work_tree_env, the code intended
  to unpatch environment variables after the test was ineffective,
  instead causing os.environ to refer to an ordinary dict object
  that does not affect environment variables when written to. This
  uses unittest.mock.patch.dict instead, so the variables are
  unpatched and subsequent writes to environment variables in the
  test process are effective.

- In test_submodule.TestSubmodule._do_base_tests, the expression
  statement "csm.module().head.ref.tracking_branch() is not None"
  appeared to be intended as an assertion, in spite of having been
  annoated @NoEffect. This is in light of the context and because,
  if the goal were only to exercise the function call, the
  "is not None" part would be superfluous. So I made it an
  assertion.
