tests: avoid a race in tail --retry testing
Prompted by the continuous integration build failure at: http://hydra.nixos.org/build/5221053 * tests/tail-2/retry.sh: Ensure the 'out' file is truncated, as it's used to arbitrate the run order of commands. Relying on the truncation in the background tail command is racy because the truncation can occur after the fork of the background shell and thus wait4lines would not wait for output to occur in 'out', which would mean that the 'missing' file could be populated by the time tail(1) gets to process it.
