Merge #329: cmake, doc: Document log output for failed tests
784a87e fixup! doc: Update for CMake-based build system (Hennadii Stepanov) Pull request description: On the master branch, `make check` generates a `foo_tests.log` file for each `foo_tests.cpp`. These log files are only printed when a test fails. Since no one has raised concerns about the log file [renaming](bitcoin#19385 (comment)) in bitcoin#19385, these files appear to serve no other purpose. CTest provides its own mechanisms for logging failed tests, making the creation of `foo_tests.log` files unnecessary. This PR documents these CTest logging mechanisms. An example of output with a mocked test error: ``` $ ctest --test-dir build -j 16 --output-on-failure Internal ctest changing into directory: /home/hebasto/git/bitcoin/build Test project /home/hebasto/git/bitcoin/build Start 10: amount_tests Start 6: tests Start 5: noverify_tests Start 120: coinselector_tests Start 7: exhaustive_tests Start 29: coins_tests Start 130: wallet_tests Start 75: random_tests Start 102: transaction_tests Start 1: util_test_runner Start 133: walletload_tests Start 31: coinstatsindex_tests Start 63: net_tests Start 35: crypto_tests Start 27: checkqueue_tests Start 56: miner_tests 1/133 Test #10: amount_tests .........................***Failed 0.02 sec Running 4 test cases... ./src/test/amount_tests.cpp(19): error: in "amount_tests/MoneyRangeTest": check MoneyRange(MAX_MONEY) == false has failed [true != false] *** 1 failure is detected in the test module "Bitcoin Core Test Suite" Start 113: validation_block_tests 2/133 Test #113: validation_block_tests ...............
