lib.fileset: Fix tests on Darwin, more POSIX
This was found when trying to run the fileset tests on Darwin (NixOS/nix#9546 (comment)), which mysteriously fail on Darwin: test case at lib/fileset/tests.sh:342 failed: toSource { root = "/nix/store/foobar"; fileset = ./.; } should have errored with this regex pattern: lib.fileset.toSource: `root` \(/nix/store/foobar\) is a string-like value, but it should be a path instead. \s*Paths in strings are not supported by `lib.fileset`, use `lib.sources` or derivations instead. but this was the actual error: error: lib.fileset.toSource: `root` (/nix/store/foobar) is a string-like value, but it should be a path instead. Paths in strings are not supported by `lib.fileset`, use `lib.sources` or derivations instead. After dissecting this, I find out that apparently \s works on Linux, but not on Darwin for some reason! From the bash source code, it looks like <regex.h> with `REG_EXTENDED` is used for all platforms the same, so there's nothing odd there. It's almost impossible to know where <regex.h> comes from, but it looks to be a POSIX thing. So after digging through the almost impossible to find POSIX specifications (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xbd/re.html#tag_007_003_005), I can indeed confirm that there's no mention of \s or the like! _However_, there is a mention of `[[:blank:]]`, so we'll use that instead.
