Remove useless $at_traceoff in sub shells, this improves the

details.
(AT_CHECK): Filter out the shell traces from the tested command's
stderr.
Use AS_ESCAPE.
Don't register experr and expout for clean up, as it's hairy and
easier to do from...
Support STDOUT = stdout, and STDERR = stderr.
Force the output of shell traces.
(AT_INIT): Here.
(edit).
