Revert "test-run-dev: Use a pipe rather than polling a log file."

This should fix spurious failures, where test-run-dev would occasionally
freeze. What exactly about these changes was causing that is still to
be potentially investigated. This is merely meant as a fix to the
failures.
This reverts commit 19429c3ad7.
