Change the format of error messages sent to stderr from tests and test
servers. As a workaround to avoid triggering Visual Studio's MSBuild
tool's built-in regexp matcher, and making it mark builds failed for
reasons we don't want them to hard fail.
Roughly, the pattern to avoid is the word "error" (case-insensitive)
in the same line with a colon `:`.
It affected GHA/windows MSVC CI jobs, causing flakiness:
```
CUSTOMBUILD : fopen() failed with error : 13 Permission denied [D:\a\curl\curl\bld\tests\test-ci.vcxproj]
Error opening file: log/4/smtp_sockfilt.log
[...]
CUSTOMBUILD : fopen() failed with error : 13 Permission denied [D:\a\curl\curl\bld\tests\test-ci.vcxproj]
Error opening file: log/8/imap_sockfilt.log
Msg not logged: 00:18:10.656000 > 178 bytes data, server => client
[...]
TESTDONE: 1629 tests out of 1634 reported OK: 99%

The `IgnoreStandardErrorWarningFormat="true"` MSBuild Exec option
controls this behavior:

I couldn't figure out a way to apply it to CMake builds.
