test-lib: disable trace when test is not verbose
The "-x" test-script option turns on the shell's "-x"
tracing, which can help show why a particular test is
failing. Unfortunately, this can create false negatives in
some tests if they invoke a shell function with its stderr
redirected. t5512.10 is such a test, as it does:
test_must_fail git ls-remote refs*master >actual 2>&1 &&
test_cmp exp actual
The "actual" file gets the "-x" trace for the test_must_fail
function, which prevents it from matching the expected
output.
There's no way to avoid this without managing the
trace flag inside each sub-function, which isn't really a
workable solution. But unless you specifically care about
t5512.10, we can work around it by enabling tracing only for
the specific tests we want.
You can already do:
./t5512-ls-remote.sh -x --verbose-only=16
to see the trace only for a specific test. But that doesn't
_disable_ the tracing in the other tests; it just sends it
to /dev/null. However, there's no point in generating a
trace that the user won't see, so we can simply disable
tracing whenever it doesn't have a matching verbose flag.
The normal case of just "./t5512-ls-remote.sh -x" stays the
same, as "-x" already implies "--verbose" (and
"--verbose-only" overrides "--verbose", which is why this
works at all). And for our test, we need only check
$verbose, as maybe_setup_verbose will have already
set that flag based on the $verbose_only list).
