[testing] Extract StreamCapture test utility

Factors out an RAII-based class that can be used to capture std::cout,
std::cerr, or technically any other std::ostream, though that's unlikely
to be useful.

This makes the logic reusable but more importantly, ensures the capture
is cleaned up at the end of the test.
