Clemens Backes 5839231f7b [test] Automatically add --no-stress-opt to message tests
Message tests check the output of a test against an expected file.
Executing with --stress-opt changes the output, since the test will be
run multiple times. For that reason, most message tests explicitly add
the --no-stress-opt flag.

Since this is redundant, and not a per-test setting, just configure this
globally for all message tests instead.

# JavaScript tests with expected output
Tests in `test/message` pass if the output matches the expected output.
Message tests are particularly useful when checking for exact error messages.
Tests and their expected output must have the same filename, with the `.js` and
`.out` extension.
```
foo.js
foo.out
```
You can use a regex in the expected output instead of the exact
path:
```
*%(basename)s:7: SyntaxError: Detected cycle while resolving name 'a'
```
Empty lines are ignored in the comparison, but whitespaces are not.
Exact details of the test runner are in [testcfg.py](testcfg.py).
