testsuite: keep more debugging info around in 'add-missing.tap'

* tests/add-missing.tap: Use a different directory for each test,
so that in case of failure more information is kept around.
Since we are at it, remove redundant TAP diagnostic, and define
`$am_create_testdir' to "empty" to avoid bringing in unused
auxiliary files.
