It turned out that the current work to introduce TAP and SubUnit
support in Automake-generated testsuite harnesses will probably
require the introduction of slight incompatibilities in the
'parallel-tests' behaviour, starting from release 1.12 onward.

test defs: fix ksh-related portability bug in warning messages
Running "make check" normally prints a diagnostic to the outermost
stderr (usually a tty) to explain why a test is skipped, thus
giving better and faster feedback to the user. It used to do
so by redirecting file descriptor 9 to stderr (via "exec 9>&2")
before invoking the test scripts, which then would write any skip
explanation to file descriptor 9 via the `skip_' function defined
in `tests/defs'.
However, various Korn Shells (at least Solaris 10's /bin/ksh and
Debian GNU/Linux's /bin/ksh) and the HP-UX's /bin/sh close open
file descriptors > 2 upon an `exec' system call; thus the effects
of "exec 9>&2" are cancelled upon fork-and-exec, so we would get
a "Bad file number" diagnostic and no skip explanation with those
shells.
The present change remedies this situation.
* tests/Makefile.am (AM_TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Redirect more portably,
via a trailing "9>&2", rather than the prior "exec 9>&2; ...". Add
explanatory comments.
* tests/defs (stderr_fileno_): Update the advice in comments.
Based on commit v8.12-82-g6b68745 "tests: accommodate HP-UX and
ksh-derived shells" in GNU coreutils.
