Fails tests in captive environments where stdin is closed

[kentfredric]

Our vendor tooling builds and tests cargo stuff in its own private space, where direct stdin is not available.

But a simple way to emulate the situations that causes this failure is redirecting /dev/null into stdin.

A simple way to replicate this behaviour is:

RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo test </dev/null
    Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.07s
     Running target/debug/deps/atty-a5c6cbcdd7f2e95c

running 3 tests
test tests::is_err ... ok
test tests::is_out ... ok
test tests::is_in ... FAILED

failures:
    tests::is_in

test result: FAILED. 2 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out

error: test failed, to rerun pass '--lib'

the stdout test can also be made to fail by redirecting the test output via:

 RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo test | cat

And the stderr test can also be made to fail by redirecting the test output via:

RUST_BACKTRACE=full cargo test 2>/dev/null

I understand that this is the problem domain atty is targeted at solving, so its a bit tricky, but I suspect the "right" thing to do here is have the tests in question exec a common binary internally, where, supposedly, you can control the availability and state of the various IO handles, that way, you're testing the logic, not testing whether or not the user is consuming the tests in an approved way.

It's fine, we can just run the test as script -c 'cargo test' /dev/null which is the normal solution for this sort of thing.
