Commit Message

On macOS, (out of the box) readlink does not have -f.  If the recent
"readlink -f" call introduced by b1cbc33a397 fails, just fall back to
the old behavior (which means you can run the iotests only from the
build tree, but that worked fine for six years, so it should be fine
still).

Suppress all error messages, so in case using $PWD works out, we do not
cause the user to worry.  If it does not work, we will end up printing
the following error message anyway:

  check: failed to source common.env (make sure the qemu-iotests are run
  from tests/qemu-iotests in the build tree)

Following that hint (running check from $build_tree/tests/qemu-iotests)
will make it work, and is probably even easier than obtaining a readlink
that understands -f.

Fixes: b1cbc33a3971b6bb005d5ac3569feae35a71de0f
       ("iotests: Allow running from different directory")
