bug#67392: dejagnu too noisy by default

I think runtest prints too much information to stdout by default.

Consider the appended output.  This comes from running a single gdb
test.

A little bit of this is gdb-specific (the "HIP" override line).  But
most of it is not.

Most output is not really useful.  In fact, pretty much the only lines I
might normally be interested in are the "Running [...]" line and the
result summary, so that if I "make -j8 check" I can easily see which
tests are being run.  (FWIW for -j8 even the summary isn't interesting
because gdb's Makefile has to collate the results at the end anyway.)

So, I think runtest should print a lot less text by default.  Emitting
it to the .log file is sufficient (although some could even be trimmed
from there).

If you don't like that, though, how about a command line option to make
it be more quiet?
