…ad of just numeric counters

This patch series enables me to change

 ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=1-3,5,17,19

into

 ./t9999-my-test.sh --run=setup,rename,symlink

and have it pick out tests with "setup", "rename", or "symlink" in their
description and run those. Saves me a lot of time, especially since numbers
for tests aren't readily accessible. The easiest way for me to get the
numbers corresponding to the tests I want to run, is to run all the tests
and look at the output to match up the descriptions with their numbers --
thus defeating the point of selecting just a subset of the tests to run in
the first place.

Changes since v2:

 * Use a glob rather than a regex for selecting tests
 * Touched up the commit message in patch 3 to mention that the TAP output
   line is still included for skipped tests and already included the word
   "skip" to highlight the fact that the test was skipped.
 * Fixed a bug where -run="!rename" would run all tests instead of skipping
   the ones with 'rename' in the description

Elijah Newren (3):
  test-lib: allow selecting tests by substring/glob with --run
  t6006, t6012: adjust tests to use 'setup' instead of synonyms
  test-lib: reduce verbosity of skipped tests
