Nor report any PermissionError on remove.

Previously we were testing with "> /dev/null", but that's not easy
to do with meson test(), so we want to use '-o /dev/null' instead.
That works fine for all of the existing tests, where all errors are
diagnosed before opening the output file.  However, PMM's named field
patch set diagnoses cycle errors during output.  This is fair, but
we need to be more careful with the remove.

Maybe rather than hardcoding /dev, only try to delete the file
if it's a normal file, i.e.:
       if os.path.isfile(output_file):
           os.remove(output_file)

?

Good idea.
