Description
As reported elsewhere, `setup test` sometimes loses test output. This is in addition to the problem of mangling test output.
I propose to solve this issue by removing all the `--show-details=` options from the `setup` interface, except `--show-details=direct`. The other options will become deprecated and produce a warning. We can revisit the issue in `cabal-install`; it is easier to solve there because we have control over how the executable is compiled.
