Consider 'samu' when looking for ninja command

samu prints a different message when the build is a no-op, so make
assertBuildIsNoop consider that as well.

Also, if compile_commands.json cannot be found, just skip the test. This
seems reasonable since meson just produces a warning if `ninja -t compdb`
fails.

Finally, only capture stdout in run_meson_command_tests.py, since the
backend may print messages the tests don't recognize to stderr.

Fixes #3405.
