mtest: fix TAP with --verbose (#5160)

* mtest: fix TAP with --verbose

TAP needs to process the test stdout even if --verbose is passed.
Capture it to a separate temporary file, and print it at the end
of the test if --verbose was passed.

In the future, we could parse it on the fly and print the result of
each TAP test point in verbose mode.

* Prefer "stderr is stdout" to "=="

The previous commit used "==" in accordance with the preexisting code,
but reviewers preferred using "is" instead. Fix both occurrences.
