perl tap: Show failed command output

Capture stdout and stderr from command_ok() and command_fails() and emit
them as TAP diagnostics on failure.  Output is truncated to the first
and last 30 lines per channel to avoid flooding.

A new helper _diag_command_output() is introduced in Utils.pm so
both functions share the same truncation and formatting logic.
