When running t1006 via Meson we receive an error about invalid TAP
format:
$ meson test t1006-cat-file
1/1 t1006-cat-file OK 3.86s 420 subtests passed
stdout: 147: UNKNOWN:

ERROR: Unknown TAP output lines for a supported TAP version.
This is probably a bug in the test; if they are not TAP syntax, prefix them with a #
Ok: 1
Fail: 0
While Meson copes with it alright, it's still annoying to see these
errors on every test run.
The root cause of the broken format is a call to grep(1) that gets
executed outside of a test case, which has been added recently via
9fd38038b9c (t1006: update 'run_tests' to test generic object
specifiers, 2025-06-02). This call is done to determine whether a
subsequent test case is expected to succeed or fail, so it makes sense
to have it execute outside of a test case. But whenever we do that, we
must be extra careful to not generate any output that breaks the TAP
format.
Fix the issue by adding '-q' to the command so that it doesn't print
any matching lines.
