[CMake] Capturing/processing output of the ADD_TEST command

[David Cole]

The easiest way to separate output is to wrap your test in a cmake -P
script, and then inside that call execute_process to run the "real test" and
use its facilities to capture output into variables or redirect output to
files.

There is no redirection of output using add_test arguments.
