Rethink logging of test recipes
The logging that was performed in OpenSSL::Test was initially set up
as a means not to let messages that test programs write to STDERR get
displayed when a test isn't running in verbose mode. However, the way
it was implemented, it meant that those messages were never displayed,
and you had to look in a test log. This also meant that output to
STDERR and output to STDOUT got broken apart, which isn't optimal.
So, we remove the whole test log file implementation, and instead,
we're sending STDERR to the null device unless one of these conditions
apply:
- the test recipe already redirects stderr. Just let it.
- the environment variable HARNESS_ACTIVE is undefined, meaning the
recipe is run directly as a perl script instead of being harnessed
by Test::Harness
- the environment variable HARNESS_VERBOSE is set.
Getting a full log of the tests now becomes as simple as this:
HARNESS_VERBOSE=yes make test 2>&1 | tee tests.log
