compiletest: Don't panic on unknown JSON-like output lines
The `json::extract_rendered` function is called for both compiler output and non-compiler output, so it's inappropriate to panic just because a line starting with `{` didn't contain a compiler output message.
It is called from two places: when checking the output of a `ui` test process, and when printing the output of an arbitrary non-passing `ProcRes`. So unfortunately there's currently no easy way to know for sure whether it is seeing compiler output or not. Fortunately, neither call site appears to be relying on this panic; it's just an overzealous internal check.
Fixes rust-lang#126373.

When a process unexpectedly fails/succeeds, compiletest will often print a full dump of its stdout and stderr for diagnostic purposes.
When this happens,
ProcRes::print_infocalls intoextract_rendered, which has special handling for lines starting with{. It tries to parse the line as JSON in one of a few known compiler-specific formats, in order to replace it with a more human-friendly message.If the line doesn't match any of those formats (or isn't valid JSON), the extractor code will panic, instead of just printing the line as-is. This is awkward in cases where we actually wanted to print the line as-is anyway, because now the error messages are less helpful.
