There were some major problems related to logging and process
output. Tests which required output from start_process would
break if used with '--log/--verbose'. This is because we relied
on 'communicate' to retrieve the process output, but Popen does
not store process output when stdout/stderr are anything other
than PIPE.
Intead, in the case of logging or outfiles, we can simply read
from the file we just wrote to.
For an explicit --verbose application we must handle things
slightly different. A keyword argument was added to Process,
'need_out' which will ensure the process output is kept
regardless of --log or --verbose.
Now a user should be able to use --log/--verbose without any
tests failing.
