The go-xcat shell behavior tests were written as Perl harnesses, which made the shell assertions harder to read and kept shell-specific setup outside a native shell test framework. Add BATS to the GitHub Actions dependency set, run BATS tests from the same preserved source tree as the Perl unit suite, and move the go-xcat repository checks into xCAT-test/autotest/bats.

xCAT-test
Unit tests that run from the source checkout are split by implementation language:
| Test type | Location | Runner |
|---|---|---|
| Perl unit tests | xCAT-test/unit/*.t |
prove -r xCAT-test/unit |
| Shell unit tests | xCAT-test/autotest/bats/*.bats |
bats -r xCAT-test/autotest/bats |
Use Perl .t tests for Perl modules, Perl scripts, templates, and repository
artifacts. Use BATS tests for shell-script behavior that can be exercised from
the checkout by sourcing a shell library or script and shadowing external
commands.
Shell behavior should not be tested by Perl tests that grep shell source. Put
those tests under xCAT-test/autotest/bats instead.
See unit/README.md and autotest/bats/README.md for the detailed rules for
each unit-test suite.
