[lit] Drop "Script:", make -v and -a imply -vv
This patch and D156954 were discussed in <https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-improving-lits-debug-output/72839>. **Motivation**: -a shows output from all tests, and -v shows output from just failed tests. Without this patch, that output from each test includes a section called "Script:", which includes all shell commands that lit has computed from RUN directives and will attempt to run for that test. The effect of -vv (which also implies -v if neither -a or -v is specified) is to extend that output with shell commands as they are executing so you can easily see which one failed. For example, when using lit's internal shell and -vv: ``` Script: -- : 'RUN: at line 1'; echo hello world : 'RUN: at line 2'; 3c40 hello world : 'RUN: at line 3'; echo hello world -- Exit Code: 127 Command Output (stdout): -- $ ":" "RUN: at line 1" $ "echo" "hello" "world" hello world $ ":" "RUN: at line 2" $ "3c40" "hello" "world" '3c40': command not found error: command failed with exit status: 127 -- ``` Notice that all shell commands that actually execute appear in the output twice, once for "Script:" and once for -vv. Especially for tests with many RUN directives, the result is noisy. When searching through the output for a particular shell command, it is easy to get lost and mistake shell commands under "Script:" for shell commands that actually executed. **Change**: With this patch, a test's output changes in two ways. First, the "Script:" section is never shown. Second, omitting -vv no longer disables printing of shell commands as they execute. That is, -a and -v imply -vv, and so -vv is deprecated as it is just an alias for -v. **Secondary motivation**: We are also working to introduce a PYTHON directive, which can appear between RUN directives. How should PYTHON directives be represented in the "Script:" section, which has previously been just a shell script? We could probably think of something, but adding info about PYTHON directive execution in the -vv trace seems more straight-forward and more useful. (This patch also removes a confusing point in the -vv documentation: at least when using bash as an external shell, -vv echoes commands to the shell's stderr not stdout.)
