Test::Harness honors HARNESS_VERBOSE but does not set it.
prove sets TEST_VERBOSE when -v is set.
Both set $Test::Harness::verbose however your test cannot see that since
its running in an exec'd subprocess.
prove and TH should unify how they indicate to a subprocess that they are
running verbose. Given that Test::Harness already uses HARNESS_ACTIVE to
indicate to running tests that they are running under Test::Harness it and
prove should continue to use the HARNESS_ prefix for their environment
variables.
So...
Test::Harness and prove should both set HARNESS_VERBOSE=1 when running
verbose.
