tap/perl: handle missing or non-executable scripts better This change improves how our Perl-based TAP driver handles non-runnable test scripts (meaning they might be not executable, or not readable, or even not exist). In particular, it makes the driver deterministically display a clear "ERROR" result instead of possibly dying with diagnostic from 'TAP::Parser' internals, and prevents it from displaying spurious "missing TAP plan" errors. Moreover, with this change, some testsuite failures present only with newer perl versions (e.g., 5.14) are fixed. See automake bug#10418. * tests/tap-bad-prog.tap: When testing the perl implementation of the TAP driver, and when the perl interpreter offers a good-enough 'IPC::Open3::open3' function, expect it not to display spurious "missing TAP plan" diagnostic if the error is actually due to a non-runnable test script. * lib/tap-driver.pl (start): Removed, broken up into ... (setup_io): ... this ... (setup_parser): ... and this, which now tries to catch and report errors in launching the test scripts. (finish): New, used by both 'main' and 'setup_parser'. (main): Adjust.
