To follow that great suggestion, I updated meson wiki[1] after I
realized some of the major gripes I had with the Perl tap test output
were not actually caused by Perl but by meson:

The main changes I made was using "-q --print-errorlogs" instead "-v",
to reduce the enormous clutter in the output of the commands in the
wiki to something much more reasonable.

As well as adding examples on how to run specific tests
