t7006-pager: if stdout is not a terminal, make a new one
Testing pagination requires (fake or real) access to a terminal so we can see whether the pagination automatically kicks in, which makes it hard to get good coverage when running tests without --verbose. There are a number of ways to work around that: - Replace all isatty calls with calls to a custom xisatty wrapper that usually checks for a terminal but can be overridden for tests. This would be workable, but it would require implementing xisatty separately in three languages (C, shell, and perl) and making sure that any code that is to be tested always uses the wrapper. - Redirect stdout to /dev/tty. This would be problematic because there might be no terminal available, and even if a terminal is available, it might not be appropriate to spew output to it. - Create a new pseudo-terminal on the fly and capture its output. This patch implements the third approach. The new test-terminal.perl helper uses IO::Pty from Expect.pm to create a terminal and executes the program specified by its arguments with that terminal as stdout. If the IO::Pty module is missing or not working on a system, the test script will maintain its old behavior (skipping most of its tests unless GIT_TEST_OPTS includes --verbose).
