zts: add a debug option to get full test output

The test runner accumulates output from individual tests, then writes it
to the log at the end. If a test hangs or crashes the system half way
through, we get no insight into how it got to where it did.

This adds a -D option for "debug". When set, all test output is written
to stdout.
