[groff]: Revise a test to be more revealing.
* src/roff/groff/tests/initialization_is_quiet.sh: Stop using "set -e".
Instead use `fail` variable and `wail` function (and lowercase names
for our internal variables) like many of our other tests. If the
"unset" shell built-in fails, skip the test (prompted by
/usr/xpg4/bin/sh on Solaris). Attempt every groff locale, with and
without compatibility mode initially enabled, instead of stopping at
the first failure. Report standard error and standard output content
separately. Use groff's `-a` flag to prepare the standard output, for
readability.
* PROBLEMS: Document that this test might be skipped rather than failing
on Solaris. (What actually happens depends on which shell you run it
with, and we advise a variety of approaches.)
Thanks to Bruno Haible for feedback regarding mysterious failures of
this test on GNU/Hurd and NetBSD systems.
