Why these prove options?

On other CI systems we pass 'prove' the option
'--state=failed,slow,save' as well to reduce runtime.  However, this
only works when there is a persistent place for prove's state files,
e.g. the cache feature of Travis CI.  If Cirrus CI lacks a similar
feature, then we can't benefit from this option, but it'd be worth
mentioning in the commit message.

Why these test options?

chain-linting is done by a mighty sed script; I think it's worth
running it with FreeBSD's 'sed' as well.

Quoting 't/README', '--no-bin-wrappers' "can speed up test runs
especially on platforms where running shell scripts is expensive".  Is
running shell scripts really that expensive on FreeBSD?

OTOH, why are there no options that would show us some information
about test failures, i.e. why no '--verbose-log -x --immediate' like
on other CI systems?
