- Instead of doing "cat meson-logs/testlog.txt" in the CI

Tail requires that it has consumed the entire doc before it prints
anything. This in turn implies that the test suite has finished.
IOW, we'll get zero output if it hangs IIUC.
I was referring to the places where we are dumping the testlog.txt like this:
make --output-sync -j`nproc` check
|| { cat meson-logs/testlog.txt; exit 1; }
See .gitlab-ci.d/custom-runners/* or .gitlab-ci.d/windows.yml for example. I
assume it should be ok to switch to "tail" instead of "cat" there?
