test_terminal: ensure redirections work reliably
For terminal tests that capture output/stderr, the TTY prerequisite warning does not quite work for commands like test_terminal foo >out 2>err because the warning gets "swallowed" up by the redirection that's supposed only to be done by the subcommand. Even worse, the outcome depends on whether stdout was already a terminal (in which case test_terminal is a noop) or not (in which case test_terminal introduces a pseudo-tty in the middle of the pipeline). $ test_terminal.perl sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out YES $ sh -c 'test -t 1 && echo >&2 YES' >out $ So: - use the test_terminal script even when running with "-v". - skip tests that require a terminal when the test_terminal script is unusable because IO::Pty is not installed. - write the "need to declare TTY prerequisite" message to fd 4, where it will be printed when running tests with -v, rather than being swallowed up by an unrelated redireciton.
