log-file as third output channel during tests
draft 1 for #6284, alternative for #6314
The main idea here is that the logs can be part of the stable code-base. But this means, that there need to be a mechanism to activate then on demand.
This PR gives an example how to achieve this.
GNU testsuite comparison:
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/tail/inotify-dir-recreate (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
i think it complexifies the code a bit too much for my taste
