agent-ptrace regression test failing in Ubuntu 22.04

I'm also seeing a similar issue with the test agent-getpeereid.
Under Ubuntu 20.04 the test to add user nobody has a return value of 2 
which indicates that it wasn't able to attach. In Ubuntu 22.04 I'm 
getting a return value of 1. This is with the V_9_0_P1 branch.

Specifically here:
         if test -z "$sudo" ; then
                 # doas
                 ${SUDO} -n -u ${UNPRIV} ${SSHADD} -l 2>/dev/null
         else
                 # sudo
                 < /dev/null ${SUDO} -S -u ${UNPRIV} ${SSHADD} -l 
2>/dev/null
         fi
         r=$?
         if [ $r -lt 2 ]; then
                 fail "ssh-add did not fail for ${UNPRIV}: $r < 2"
         fi

Under Ubuntu 22.04 it does fail but the return value seems to be different.

If I get rid of the redirects to /dev/null and print the value of r I 
get the following on 22.04:
run test agent-getpeereid.sh ...
The agent has no identities.
r is 1
Sorry, user parallels is not allowed to execute 
'/home/parallels/openssh-portable/ssh-add -l' as nobody on 
parallels-Parallels-Virtual-Platform.
r is 1
ssh-add did not fail for nobody: 1 < 2
failed disallow agent attach from other uid

Under 20.04 I get the following:
run test agent-getpeerid.sh ...
The agent has no identities.
r is 1
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
r is 2
ok disallow agent attach from other uid

Again, it looks there was a change in the wording and exit codes. 
Possibly related to sudo? On 20.04 sudo is version 1.8.31. Under 22.04 
it's version 1.9.9. Seems like it might also be causing problems in 
agent-restrict.
