test: Add a new --quiet flag to suppress output
The --quiet flag is useful when only the exit status matters.
Fix the documentation for the -t flag to no longer claim that `type` can
print "keyword", as it never does that.
Stop printing a blank line for functions/builtins when the -p flag has
been passed. It's just not useful.
