Fix handling of long test names by the bash unit test framework when using `set -eo pipefail`.

Bash unit test framework uses `... | head -c 80` to truncate test name, padded with `*`. `head` will read the first 80 bytes and close the file descriptor, consequently, the process stuck on `write(pipe_fd, ...)` will get SIGPIPE and fail. When using `set -eo pipefail`, the exit code will be propagated through the pipe and, consequently, getting the truncated test name will fail.

For tests with long names, the name itself will take 80 bytes, therefore `head` will not issue a second `read` and `close` the pipe. This makes the next process which generates the `*` padding run `write` for a pipe with no readers and fail on SIGPIPE.

Fix the helper to ignore failures propagated from printing the padded test name.
