If flatpak is built with code coverage enabled, libgcov sometimes helpfully emits messages in the output from programs under test. If we’re strictly comparing the whole output of a program to an expected string, as `test-history.sh` does in these two places, this can cause spurious test failures. Temporarily tell it to send its error messages to `/dev/null` as we don’t care about them for those tests. Signed-off-by: Philip Withnall <pwithnall@gnome.org>
