Some outputs (like the pager) care whether stdout is a

This patch sets up both. Technically speaking, we could go
further and set up just one (because either the other goes
to a terminal, or because our tests are only interested in
one).
This makes test_terminal more realistic, too: the usual case is for
stdout and stderr to go to a terminal (unless explicitly captured or
redirected).
Tests can use 'test_terminal sh -c "foo >/dev/null"' to test that a
command correctly handles being run with stderr a terminal and
stdout not.
And I doubt this would make test_terminal much slower.
So for what it's worth:
