        src/tests/usr.bin/cut: t_cut.sh

Log Message:
t_cut.sh: correct a test case for -n (PR bin/59029)

The test case added before was based on how a version of GNU coreutils
cut(1) -- as patched by Red Hat to accept this flag -- behaved, but in
fact it, and OpenBSD's implementation, too, doesn't distinguish between
-c and -b -n, which doesn't align with the meaning/implementation used
in commercial Unix variants that originally offered -n (e.g., Solaris
and Tru64).

The new version of the test case clearly illustrates the differences
between interpretations of this flag (Solaris, FreeBSD, RHEL/Fedora,
OpenBSD).
