test-lib: verbose mode for only tests matching a pattern
With the new --verbose-only=<pattern> option, one can enable --verbose at a per-test granularity. The pattern is matched against the test number, e.g. ./t0000-basic.sh --verbose-only='2[0-2]' to see only the full output of test 20-22, while showing the rest in the one-liner format. As suggested by Jeff King, this takes care to wrap the entire test_expect_* block, but nothing else, in the verbose toggling. We can use the test_start/end functions from the previous commit for the purpose. This is arguably not *too* useful on its own, but makes the next patch easier to follow.
